I hear there is some "loop" thats suppose to eliminate the problem (something about the coil interfering with reception). Could someone tell me precisely the brand name and model of what I need to install, does it come with simple pictures and instructions, and is it easy enough to do without an engineering degree?

Don't forget to change the one from the center of the dizzy cap to the coil.
There are noise supressor capacitors that can be installed too. You can probably get these at Radio Shack. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 47 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 47 | Waldo,
Ah!! OK, thanks. I didnt have this problem tillI changed the plug wires. The originals probably were resistor type.
