I am on the East side of Reading. Next time the noisy students have a party you are more then welcom to come over. Shall we say about 5am?

That's right. Near Palmer Park if you know it.

Its the Hyfire..

When I was using the Crane Hi6, some time ago....it also interfered with TV reception, although I dont think it was as bad as that. Didnt have many neighbours though.

Why are you using non resistor plugs ? Every single bit of info I have ever read, says they should always be used on modern cars, to reduce electrical interference, which can be vital given the electronics in cars now ( ecu's etc )

Ive used resistor plugs for as long as I can remember, and never even considered using anything different.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Hyfire?

A brand of capacitive discharge ignition as far as I know

the guys at highpower nitrous advised me to use non resisted plugs stevie,

So, a method of making big sparks then?

The original radio transmitters were based on spark gaps. Lots of wide band noise! It is what Marconi first used. With non resistive leads then, perhaps, it is not surprising you are causing problems. If you want me to take a listen then just let me know. I'll trade you for a bit of V8 wisdom.

And their reasoning was ??

never asked mate,
just did what they said. but will find out,
unless Perry knows why?

Again, the very reason behind resistor plugs and leads etc, is for interference suppression.

If TV's etc are getting screwed up by it, I cant imagine your own car's ecu etc is having fun either.
Although with these CDI ignitions, it seems you may never eliminate all of it.

its not all tellys mate, just 2 i interfere with

as this has been raised again,
mines now cured,
ditched the hyfire,

gone coil packs and resisited plugs so far all is ok gain
