Gascolator

I go back to Radios. The old Radio did NOT cancel the spark noise like newer Radios do. Better now. Even cars could get radio noise back in the '50s and '60s ! When plugs and the wires them self were shield you could not get the top cover on with them in. Especially that left front plug. Not saying being without cover is not a nicer look. Nor am I saying with newer radios you will get noise. FYI I do not care.

FWIW Eisemann mags came on the 415C and did not use shielded plugs, hence no bumps or holes in the cowl. I like
the smooth clean look and cringe at putting eyebrows on it
There aren't many Ercoupes left with smooth cowls.

this plane was using ERCO engine. see the shape of the nose. Note also no radios

Old type plug were replaced because of radio became used more.

To Ronald: Yep. A good looking plane.
To Kevin:
Apparently I wasn't clear. I am an American and bound by FAA rules.
I was hoping someone knew of an unshielded alternative to the M41E that could keep the FAA happy.

 

The original Ercoupe didn't have spark plug eyebrows.   I like the lines.
