Who runs what? Ive heard your supposed to run non resistor plugs with an ignition box, and ive heard that it dosent matter? I run a Digital 6 MSD. So whats the scoop? Any good info?

Non-resistor plugs can create electical "noise" which may effect electrical components throughout the vehicle. Same is true of solid core plug wires.

Just for fun, you could put non-resistor plugs and solid core wires on your car, then you would mess up everyones TV as you drive past their house....might get to meet some of the people who live on your block.

Youre supposed to be running Resistor plugs with MSD Boxes as mentioned.No solid wires either, only spiral wound or supression stuff allowerd.

With a digital box I think it would create bigger problems than on the regular old 6A stuff.

For radio noise check out MSD Tech Bulletin #107
