I see 31 Mix snap-on beads listed by DXEngineering as effective in reducing
ignition noise by placing them on ignition wires. (0.275 inches)

I have several questions about their application for ignition wires:

1. Where along the wire should they be placed (at the plug, at the
distributor, middle of wire)?

2. Should they be stacked next to each other for better effect (series
butted up against one another) and if so, how many, and again, where along
the wire?

3. How many should be used and as above, how should they be "clustered"?

They come in packs of 10 and since I have a For Taurus ('95) 3.0 V6, I have
6 wires to deal with. 2 packs would yield 20 chokes, for example, and
perhaps a silly way to look at it would be to put one at each end of each
wire and one in the middle of each wire, using 3 per wire or 18 of the 20
available.

4. Are these likely to be significant help on either HF or VHF?

5. Can anyone recommend a really good set of ignition wires for best RFI
suppression?

(and yes, I'm aware of the fuel pump noise problem...but I'm concentrating
on ignition noise at the moment)
