Default 740 Radio Static

What condensers do I look for and replace that will clear up static from the engine coming thru the radio?

It usually comes from Faulty ignition parts.

Do you have an Aftermarket AMP in the car?

It might be time for a tuneup.

I too have very bad static, especially on AM. The static is in time with the RPM's, and clicks more when turn signals or brake lights go on. I was thinking a new set of plug wires???? Car also hard to start in rainy weather. Comments?? Thanks Got a good source for new wires?
