Non-resistor spark plugs= hotter spark?

Will using non-resistor spark plugs give a hotter spark since there is no voltage drop across the resistor? How much of a difference would it make? Can't find much information about this topic. Same question about solid core wires. This would be for a non-computer car.

I could be wrong, but I think the resistor helps cut down on radio interfearance. If you want a hotter spark, get a stronger coil.

I would forget about the non-resistor plugs and solid wires. Get a good set of wires and keep the resistor plugs. There is nothing worthwhile to be gained there, and peoples radios will hate it along with your own if you still have one.
