According to the Sunbeam and Ford publications I have, Tigers were 
never shipped with resistor plugs (or radios). The standard Tiger 
plug was the BF-42.  Clymer recommends the BF-32 and solid core plug 
wires in his Performance Tuning book.

The 289HP certainly did not have resistor plugs. Ford books call for 
the BF-32, or for drag racing, the BF-22. No mention of a BF-52, 
which IMO would not be desirable. HP engines also had solid core 
wires. I don't think Ford or Shelby figured anybody with a HP was too 
worried about their radio.
