The only way the switch will affect performance is if the carbon core wires were
deteriorated or defective. Of course you'll get a lot more RFI with the
non-suppressor wires.

In my case, with the TR2-4 cap that pierces the wire instead of the clip-on cap
used on the TR6, switching to solid core wires meant that my plug wires lasted
decades instead of months. In fact, the wrecked car is literally still wearing
a set of "hybrid" wires that I bought back in the mid-80s (from JCW). Sure wish
I'd had the sense to buy a few more sets, as they're no longer available that I
can find. These were solid-core wires, with suppression resistors encapsulated
in silicon rubber spark plug boots.
