AHHH!!! Solid Core Spark Plug Wires!!

I ordered a set of plug wires from summit but the guy on the phone thought a 350 was a six banger. So I had to wait 2.5 weeks for an exchange. When I got the new set it had a braided SS core!! I knew about solid core causing radio noise but I thought I would try anyway. Well IT BLOWS!!
Whenever the engine is on their is a buzzing noise comming out of the speakers, with the occasional loud crack.

Is their anyway to get rid of this short of ordering a new set of plug wires?? Anyone found a solution?????

Well, your going to have to get some plug wires with some RF suppression. Even if you didn't have a stereo, i would recommend doing so because the noise could mess with your the car's computer.
