Radio capacitor question
I am getting my interior back together and since I am no longer running a radio, I was wondering if it is OK to eliminate the 4 capacitors I have found on my 69. I found one on the blower motor housing, another hooked to the back of the ammeter, another near the ignition switch, and the 4th coming out of the instrument harness by the steering column. Thanks, Bill.

I threw all mine out, the wires were cut and they were just sitting there taking up space. Now that i think of it, probably should have put them up on ebay. Probably could have made enough money for another vette. Stupid ebay and their crazy prices.

Absolutely no problem disposing of the capacitors if you don't have a radio. The reason that GM used so many on the Corvette is the fiberglass body does not shield RF noise very well.
