its a V-12 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Anyone have a lead on who has radio noise suppressors and how many are needed? and their location?. Radio works in my '48 Lincoln Continental but when you run the engine, the static interference takes over. Someone has suggested ground straps? has anybody had success in using them? or any other suggestions to eliminate the static, other than turn the radio off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_V12Bill Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Earle Brown has radio suppressors. I think 3 are needed on the 48. One on the generator/temperature sending unit and two on the voltage regulator.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBoz Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 If you can get by with 3 on a '48, you're lucky. I was looking at the radio installation guide for my '37. Here's what they recommend:* 2 on the distributor / coil* 1 on the oil pressure switch* 1 on the temp sending unit (on the radiator in '37* 1 on the fuel sending unit* 1 on the generatorThat's six there, and I'm sure Ford and Philco engineers would have wanted two more in your ears. 'course, you wouldn't be able to hear *anything* then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Cullen Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 That's where I am now too. I have a sweet radio and speaker (thanks Roy) but need the supressors. There are two different part numbers in the instruction manual! I'm wondering if any condenser will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I would think the only difference would be in the mounting tab location. For example, is it in the middle, on the side, or somewhere else. I can't imagine there being any internal differences; they're just suppressors. But it's a good question. Anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
