Beemon Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hey guys, just wanted to throw this out there because as far as I know these are new repros on the market. I bought the coil capacitor, generator capacitor and voltage regulator capacitor from Corvette Central, a pretty big Corvette parts dealer. I checked the capacitors for their true values and did a leak down test and all the capacitors are where they should be. Before, the original radio was struggling with popping because the over the counter .18-.23MFD ignition capacitors couldn't keep up. The OEM capacitor rankings are .3MFD for the coil and alternator and .5MFD for the voltage regulator. Crystal clear radio now! Good thing those Corvette guys are over the top, right?? They even have repro ignition ballast resistors (no fan resistors but I'm told they may be coming). Some of you guys might not care, but it sure made a difference for me. Enjoy! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
