I did that years ago for my '47. There usually isn't anything on AM radio worth listening to, anyway.

I have screw in resistors which screw into the end of the plug lead and attach directly to the spark plug. Work really well No static at all on AM.
No problems with Am stations here Radio Sport goes out on AM and if my team is not doing well we have a local station that does 50's and 60's music.


I have also modified the radio so that I run by ipod through it . The lovely warm sound of a valve amp plus whatever music I want and cruising down the road with that back round flathead rumble - Heaven! -Karl
