Re: Resistor vs Non-resistor plugs

[SailingFC@aol.com]

I had non-resistor plugs when I had the stock resistor plug wires.  When I 
switched to non-resistor wires(silver coated copper wire), I had to switch to 
resistor plugs to kill the noise coming off the ignition system through my 
stereo system.  Didn't have any other issues with the car.
