Hello TE:

I don't think Mr. Faraday had anything to do with it. Is that guy on
channel 12, and goes by Fright Hauler? Has a Cobra 148 and Texas Star
500, and has duel whip antennas?!?!?!

Well anyway grounding the fender, firewall, and hood was a significant
improvement in reducing the ignition noise. I also ran new shielded
wiring for the Ignition Modular, and that didn't help as much. Oh yeah I
also added on copper tape (from the TRW Swap Meet) applied a 1/2 inch
width of the copper tape every 3 to 4 inches on the center distributor
wire, this was also a big help.

I have a Motorola Radio in the Truck, and its has a really neat noise
canceling circuit in it.

And another noise reduction idea, would be a Clear Speech External
Speaker with DSP Noise Reduction. Yeahs its 200 dollars, but if ya want
to play ya gotto pay.

I know guys fight the noise coming from a noise fuel pump in the plastic
gas tank. I would wrap the plastic tank with wire, and add in a power
lead filter.


Just get a different truck. Then you won't have to deal with the
bass-ackwards electrical system, the characteristic cancer above the
fender wells, rebuilding the CV joints on the dual I-beams (a major
PITA), or that annoying and mysterious 'clunk' that sometimes appears
after 100k or so.
