Does anyone know a good source for correct looking noise suppression spark plug wires for a 1953? Are the Macs reproduction set with FoMoCo script noise suppression? I am installing a new Am/Fm Bluetooth radio (stock appearance) and want to eliminate any obvious noise sources prior to installation. Planning to install a USA 740 from Custom Autosound. Thanks!,

My father always used Autolite resistor spark plugs. Definitely avoid the silk thread and carbon type resistor wires of late years.

I would use the stock wires routed correctly in the holding bracket and resister spark plugs. Supereal recommends champion RJ14YC plugs. I have had good service with them also. The later noise suppression wires were not made for the low voltage provided by your ignition system. Make sure that the suppression condensers are installed on the voltage regulator, ignition coil, and gas tank sending unit. Make sure that all of your ground connections are clean and secure. I would replace the battery grounding straps to make sure that they are not corroded. Make sure that your antenna is installed correctly and that the lead in cable shield is grounded. I don't know if the cars with the front mounted distributor used the copper hood suppression springs at the cowl, but it would not hurt to install them. I cannot find a P/N for them, but they were flat copper springs that mounted on the cowl and touched the hood to suppress radio static. If these don't solve the noise problem, contact Custom Auto Sound support for more information. Tom

The generator because it is a DC type with a commutator also needs a condenser.
