- My 1275 powered Morris van sets them all to chirping as I drive down the streets rather slowly. It has solid state ignition and alternator. Rick Feibusch had a Morris Pick up that did all the same ch

- Me thinks it's the exhaust noise with Spridgets. Some early Porsche electronic ignitions caused some garage doors to open when they drove by. There is a Honda in the parking lot next to my office who

- I can pretty consistently set off alarms in trucks and SUVs in the parking garage at work if the vehicle is parked at the end of a row such that I'm making a hairpin turn and heading uphill to the n

- Reminds me of the time I saw the Blue Angels over San Francisco. Every time they would make a low level pass you could hear car alarms going off all over the place. Sadly, most of them reset after a

- Hi Ed, I was one of the people who replied about my car test the car alarms. It has nothing to do with ignition or radio, what's that, just a finely tuned load exhaust note in combination with a heav

- I have a Flowmaster muffler on the vintage racer... sets 'em off everytime. Many systems have motion/noise detectors that if set to a low threshold will go off easily from a passing vehicle that has

- On my 62 w/1275, It's most definitely the exhaust note. My wife can hear me from about 1/2 mile away when I'm into the throttle. I drove it to work last Friday and set off three car alarms in our par
