<VV> radio noise

[Bill Hubbell]

Actually, there are several things added to a radio-equipped Corvair to 
suppress electrical noise.  There are condensers on the coil, generator, and 
voltage regulator; afore-mentioned copper grounding straps; a metal 
grounding clip attached to the body behind the right deck lid hinge; dust 
cap inserts (front wheels).

There may be additional things, but this is all I can remember -- being 
confined to a chair recovering from foot surgery, I am currently unable to 
get to my references to check for sure.
