The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay The Radio Bench Where do you find Radio noise Capacitors?

original #'s:
ignition coil capacitor (No. 1929070) [+ term]
generator capacitor (No. 1911095)[arm term]
voltage regulator capacitor (No. 1917580) [batt term]
so it looks like, NO, any ol one won't do
Also see link below for a Junction black Capacitor #(No 7263920)

Focus,

You can use a coil and wrap the Pos wire around the coil They have them at Radio Shack. Look in the 64 series and ask for a MANAGER who knows his parts should be about 5.00.

I don't know which truck or radio we are dealing with here but I am going to guess it is a Task Force era radio? I don't think that you are going to find the actual GM parts and even if you did, they would probably be dried out and defective.

I don't understand your comment about wrapping a wire around a coil. Would you care to give us some more detail?

The part I'm speaking of is linked below.

"Effective, easy-to-use RFI fighter. Cut down on RFI (radio frequency interference) with this snap-together Toroid Choke Core. Easily use choke core on a phone, computer, AC, audio and coax cables. No cable cutting necessary - you simply wind it through the core."

They seemed to have went up a bit in price but I think you get two to the pack now.

I don't know about some of the Radio Shack products. For someone to mention "coax" as a possible application is pretty bazaar. That just doesn't make any sense. However, thank you for pointing out the reference.

Modelman - that product has no use as a replacement for the truck noise suppression capacitors .... which as 'nix sez, won't be available anymore

Focus - if you could find the particular values, fresh modern parts would prolly be available, but try going without and see if the radio is noisey, might work fine, mine did

I figger as close as you will get is a new condensor for points ign system & use the OE brackets & connectors on it if you are looking for originality.

Take a look at RA450 "Radio Noise Suppressor" on Jim Carter's site. This appears about as close as you'll get to the original looking condenser.

Funny that GM listed three or four different part numbers, I would assume they were different values, but JC says that you use three of his at $11.50 each. I would like to know the values of the GM part numbers that Focus listed at the begining of the thread.

I've always been able to get these OE looking capacitors at the local Car Quest. In a pinch I've used a .47uF 200VDC capacitor out of my electronics stock. Doesn't "look" right, but accomplishes the same thing.

Someone posted a part number for noise suppression caps that they got from a NAPA store. Danged if I can find it now. I couldn't find it online at the time so I kind of dismissed it as a fluke.

Did anyone ever try their local NAPA and or do you remember where this was posted and what the PN was?

I did a search this morning, but as usual, nothing!
