Make sure you're not running low or no-resistance spark plugs or ignition
wires. Those will cause a HUGE amount of noise to be generated that an AM
radio easily picks up. Use only resistor-style spark plugs and
carbon-impregnated resistor type (RFI suppression) ignition wiring.
"Performance" ignition wiring and non-resistor type spark plugs are
responsible for 99.9999% of all the kind of noise your AM radio is picking
up.
