Dunno, but find one and i will!

Interference, locally there's a scooter that passes here that properly crackles through the freeview tv signal. No other vehicle just that one and very prominent in #46 replica graphic, usually wheelying too  :)

RF interference on most original fuel injection system too as I understand it, particularly with analogue MAF (mass airflow meter) needing competent screening to avoid anomalies. More have moved to digital report now.

Here is my personal view on the matter. The combustion engine is but the next step in locomotion right after the steam engine (and it is about time we kick it into oblivion  ;)). Where on a steam engine the stoker had to add coal to an already burning fire, say at every telegraph pole, the combustion engine begins with putting the mixture in and then throws a match at it. I know, I know, all put very simple, but just for the perspective.
Now our way of interpreting phenomena has also been evaluated and thanks to progress in digitization, we are now used to pin point accuracy. However to project such precision on a process as primitive as a fire place like in the combustion chambre, doesn't touch either side (if that's the correct expression). Every combustion cycle differs from its predecessor and its successor and the margins are wide. Personally I have no reason to doubt the advice given by Honda France and Honda The Netherlands and I find the fact that 10kΩ caps are not even available anymore, telling. From school I vaguely remember something about Rc time, but I won't even look it up. Don't get me wrong. I have always been open to a possible effect on spark duration, but... whether you will experience any benefit of it, is another thing... I doubt it. I find the fact that there's no mentioning of such a beneficial effect in the automotive literature, not even in Steinbuch's - I don't know how many volumes - masterpiece, very telling.
In the dark ages among scolars (scolastics I should say) there has been much discussion about how many angels could sit on the tip of a needle and frankly... I find that discussion more interesting.
But - as always - I'm easy to convince. Just don't expect me to help you: I have already done my share.  Furthermore I like to stress this is the internet here and you never know if someone's primary goal is to present himself as an expert. If the phenomena cannot be seen, let alone be repeated and nobody can present any more substantiation than a 'Mr. so and so', said it, we enter the domain of religion.

I bought Denso X22ES-U (code 4090) for my 500 from Greenspark but haven't tried them yet.
My US import 500 was fitted with 7.5k ohm caps (No R plugs) which may well have been original as it only had a few thousand miles on it.
