Re: '41 110 Radio Repair

The capacitor value is not given in most of the radio install instructions but for 1954 they must have goofed because they did give a value of .5mfd.
There are any number of places where one could be placed to be effective. The back of the ign switch would be the best place to catch a lot of the garbage but I suspect that may be hard to get to on your car. You could try some of the other places shown for a 55 radio. On the BAT terminal at the regulator would be almost the same as the back of ign switch and another might work where the radio power wire is connected. It may take two or three to cover the different circuits powering things that make noise. I also found some instructions for a 39 which may be a bit closer to your needs.
Napa has any number of suppression capacitors and doing a search for radio capacitor brings up 3 pages worth in various configurations. For our cars I think the first two -- RR186 or EP359 -- configuration would fit best. No idea what values those are as the website doesn't list specs. Perhaps they would have specs in the store.
