I'm wondering if the following conjecture is true:
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an isogeny class of elliptic curves over $\mathbf{Q}$. Fix an odd prime $p$ of good reduction. Then there is a curve $E \in \mathcal{A}$ such that the quantity $$\dfrac{L(E,1)}{\Omega_E}$$ is a $p$-adic unit.
That is, the quantity $\dfrac{L(E,1)}{\Omega_E}$ can always be made a $p$-adic unit after "shifting by an isogeny". I wanted to ask:
-
Is this conjecture known to be true? It seems like if this is true, this would be well-known, but I'd like to confirm.
-
If it is true, does anyone have a reference?

The conjecture is False.
Let $\mathcal A$ be the isogeny class 6690j and $p=7$. The quantities $\dfrac{L(E,1)}{\Omega_E}$ for the two elliptic curves are $7$ and $49$ respectively, neither a $p$-adic unit.
