Avanti Emmisions!

[mfg]

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

I count 16, so I will guess 2) 17.

#2, seventeen is CORRECT!

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)

We should count the one at the voltage regulator as well.

 

What about the supression spark plug wires?

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.

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!
