Re: NAPA plug wires good to suppress radio noise?
An alternator has a disttinctive 'whine' to it that raises and lowers in
pitch with engine rpms. Noise from the ignition (wires and/or spark
plugs) have a distintive 'static' sound to it that also varies in
intensity with the engine rpm but it doesn't have a whine like the
alternator can have.

Re: NAPA plug wires good to suppress radio noise?
Use a portable transistor radio with a ferrite loopstick antenna as a
direction finder to find the noise, if a thorough ground check and
retightening has no effect. You can of course disconnect the battery,
then unhook the alternator and restart the engine on battery power or
disconnect the belt to see if that does it.

Ever hear a motorboat in the TV or radio? That is spark noise. Like a
bzzzt noise. Alternator noise is a whine.
