[Healeys] Solid core non-resistor wires

[Bob Spidell]

None of the gendarmes who have stopped me to, uh, admire my Healey have complained about interference (I have solid copper wires). 

I use resistor plugs and the wire terminals have 15KOhm resistance built-in. My AM reception is good as long as I'm tuned to a station--I hear the fuel pump and every cylinder fire if I'm not--and haven't noticed any problem in my other cars when the Healey is running nearby. 

Are there any laws stipulating that suppression wires must be used? Or is it just good citizenship? At any rate, suppression wires will fail in the screw-in type distributor cap sooner or later, so it's solid copper or use a different cap.

And everyone's AM radio and FM radio, not to mention the police radio in the 
highway patrolman's car. 
that could make for a very interesting conversation. 
Be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it.
