no one in a 10 block radius of you will be able to listen  to their
radio-

Not true at all;  the static disturbance is just about 100 yards or one
city block.
An 85 GL has electronic ignition and requires a resistor coil wire.
Only 83 and below standard point set ignitions require a solid core coil
wire. Many new wire sets of 80-83 wire sets come with a resistor wire
(still need the resistor type rotor arm). I've also seen wire sets with a
suppressor (junk) in the coil wire.
Yes I know I'm crazy! Its just been that way for a long time.
