mfg Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Not counting nuts, bolts, or ferrules, a Studebaker Avanti's emission shielding system is made up of......?....... components 1) twelve........2) seventeen.........3) eighteen.....or......4) twenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I count 16, so I will guess 2) 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64studeavanti Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Which one did I not count? I had 4 for each of the looms, 3 for each of the spark plug shields, the distributor shield and the often missing bracket for it. Are you counting the noise supressing capacitor?

Yes , I see that capacitor (at the coil) as part of the system....a 'key' component!....However, giving this more thought, I believe there's a SECOND capacitor at the alternator, also to squelch radio static, so the actual answer here is most likely EIGHTEEN!! ....(#3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 We should count the one at the voltage regulator as well. What about the supression spark plug wires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) While you are at it - for the sake of correctness, the word is emissions. EDIT: I see that it is correct in the question, but incorrect in the heading. Edited January 23, 2018 by studegary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the supression spark plug wires? I'll have to check my '63 to see if there's a capacitor at the voltage regulator....I can't picture it! The plug wires? well yes!...I suppose the plugs themselves have to be counted if they're the resistor type!....But I think we'll leave this at eighteen items!
