alternator noise eliminated!!!

Just thought I'd mention this here.

For everyone plauged by alternator noise on your radio / tape player, today I installed a Custom Autosound noise eliminator in my 69. Having installed several other brands in the past, with no relief, I was doubtful this was going to work. But, after a quick (5 minutes) install, it has completely eliminated all alternator noise!!!!!!!! A true miracle.

I got mine from Corvette Central, but assume they are available from all the usual vendors.

Now I can listen to my iPod, when I can hear it over the exhaust, without irritating buzzzzzzzzzz in the background.

Its just a airly large capacitor, you can get them at Radio Shack. The kits like that are easy for most guys tho.

a capacitor which simply connects to the power and ground terminals on your alternator. The toughest part of the job was deciding how I would suspend the can. For now, I have it tie wrapped into the wire bundle that branches off the fender towards the alternator. I'll probably try to hide it up on the fender now that I know it works.
