I am planning on replacing the cap. rotor, wires,and plugs in the near future (on my 90 GT). I was planning on using the Ford Racing cap/rotor and their 9mm wires. My first question is should I expect any electrical noise as a result of this slight upgrade from stock.
And number 2 is that I am unsure on the plugs to use.
I am not ever planning on racing or anything like that I just need to tune it up. I did a search and found that autolites and the denzo iridiums appear to be the most commonly chosen ones and each have pros and cons.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.thanks
