Re: installing a radio in a 51 200

Having just put a rebuilt 51 radio in my formerly non-radio car, I didn't have any static from the spark plug wires like I remember when I had a similar car back in high school. Course I have modern resistor type wires on the car, so that is probably what's eliminating the static. the shop manual tells you to cut the coil wire and install a resistor in it - I've done that in the past (way in the past) but didn't find it necessary this time.
