[alfa] Re: gtwe6 weird elec'l, continued

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Doug:

That's just a small capacitor, which shunts to ground any stray AC that 
might cause radio interference (a high-pitched whine, that varies with 
rpm).  If it's a problem, many car stereo install shops (or Radio Shack) 
can set you up with a similar replacement part.  Both of my Spider's have 
the same alternator as your GTV6, with out the capacitor, and I'm not 
hearing any interference.

Regards,

Dean
