How do I remove turn signal noise from a 63' AM radio? I have the correct condensors on the turn signal switch and the radio.Would it help to add the late 63' condensor on the fuse block? THANKS!!! Stan #19259

This doesn't make sense... What condensor(s) on the turn signal switch? None were used in a factory correct configuration.
There was an early and late form of RF suppression for the turn signal. In the early form, the flasher module was installed in the fuse panel and in the late form, the wiring harness changed to move the flasher to a clip mounted on the LH side of the center console.
The same 0.5 uF, 200 VDC wax-foil capacitor supplied by Cornell Dublier was placed across the terminals of the flasher in both early and late configurations. The difference was whether or not the lead wires of the capacitor were 'sandwiched' with a piece of blue-grey insulating fische paper.
In the early configuration where the flasher was installed in the fuse block, the paper insulator wasn't used (the frame of the fuse block is non-conducting Bakelite). The paper insulation wrap came on-stream when the flasher was moved to the side of the center console and installed in the metal clip.
Without this capacitor in place, you can expect to hear a reasonably healthy 'doink, doink, doink' noise in your radio when you signal a turn. Good reproductions of the original capacitor are available from Long Island Corvette. They all come with the paper insulator attached. For an early car with the flasher mounted in the fuse block, simply remove the staple that holds the paper insulator together and slip the insulator off the capacitor's lead terminals. -
