Radio Problems
I have a 65 with a ZZ3 and MSD ignition module and distributor. My radio is a Retrosound Model 2. It plays fine while sitting, radio and USB, engine running or not. When I start to move, the sound cuts in and out. I have shaken all the wires looking for a loose connection to no avail. I installed a MSD capacitor thinking that might help, again to no avail. Any suggestions?

If the bluetooth cuts out too, I think you can eliminate the antenna. I have tried three Retrosound radio in three different cars. Two cut out at random when driving, and the other had so much engine interference that it was not usable. I added chokes and filters, no help. The only way I could listen was to mount the antenna all the way in the very rear of the trunk of a 68 Camaro and then I still could only listen to strong stations. That was not a bluetooth radio.
