Assuming it now runs worse than i did BEFORE the tune up and assuming the NEW plugs are a different brand and/or different number ON THE PLUG ITSELF then put the old plugs back in and try it.

If the performance of the radio isn't of importance to you, I'd prefer copper-core wire and non-resistor plugs. Or at the most, resistor wire OR resistor plugs.

Thanks for all the help.

The parts book lists the same rotor for Auto-Lite in 55 and 56. I believe it is a non-resistor rotor. The Delco rotor has the resistor built in. I run solid copper wires (Packard 440) and non-resistor plugs. I don't have any static problems with either radio - I have two in the 400.
