Hi Gang,

I am so glad to be asking these questions instead of the " where does my
camshaft go" questions.

I installed a new radio in the TR4.  One of those 70's retro ones from
Kenwood.  The reception and sound is perfect with engine not running.
Some noises start coming at idle but when the engine is revved to normal
level the radio signal is overcome by ignition noise.

I have changed to negative ground.  And the ignition wires are as they were
when I bought the car last year... but they show no sign of wear.... and
they look very period with orange-red rubber boots on the plugs.

I am using the NGK BP6ES plugs which I am guessing are not resistor type
plugs.  What do I have to do to get the noise out.

I remember this battle has an original TR4 owner.
