<VV> Installing Radio Capacitor

[Dave Thompson]

Jeff,
Is it a ticking sound (ignition) or a warrrring sound
(generator/alternator)? Does it change with RPM? Do you have the grounding
straps from the side shroud to the body?

Subject: <VV> Installing Radio Capacitor

After installing the Champion spark plugs sent by Clark's, I find that 
my AM radio now has as lot of static on the admittedly very few AM 
stations I'm able to pick up here in midcoast Maine. I remember that I 
used to specify "resistor" plugs so as to lessen radio interference.

So I stopped at our local garage and the mechanic gave me an old 
capacitor to install. He thinks it goes to the + wire on the coil, and 
need to be grounded to the body. Is this right?

Thanks,
