    15.2 The spark plug leads should be fabricated from silicone insulated 7mm cable with suitable terminals and silicone spark plug boots. The use of leads with resistor spark plug boots (Altronic series 59320x-xx) is recommended to minimize interference from emitted RFI on the operation of other nearby electronic equipment. Another option is the use of suppression ignition cables.
