My  '60 4-door has non-resistor plugs and resistor wires and there's 
NO spark  noise in its original tube type radio.    It had solid-core  
wires at one time and even then spark noise in the radio was minimal,  
on channel it was silent but tune the radio off-station and there it  
was, could hear every single plug each time it fired, buzzzzz right 
in  time with the gas pedal. 


 
That is why resistance wires are so effective. The Corvair - if equipped  
with a front antenna (like 98% of the original cars were) is not  usually the 
suffering party. Between the Corvair motor and the  radio are several layers of 
metal and a other RF absorbent material. Solid core  wire affects the poor slob 
who pulled up behind you at the light. Next time an  old Corvette pulls up 
next to you, you will be able to tell whether he has  removed his ignition 
shields. With the fiberglass body, there is only the  goofy shielding over the plug 
wires to keep the Corvette from being a big,  Mobile RF test site. - Seth
