I have awful ignition noise in the Jeep described above. It is so bad that
I cannot hear any station on AM when the engine is running. FM radio is
fine.

What are the most likely culprits please ?

Thanks for any tips !!

Ground (rotted engine ground strap, radio ground, etc)
(try a jumper cable between frame and block)
failing sparkplug wires, cracked plugs, or arcing
in the cap.
condenser (for those who still remember points) :)
worn muffler bearings

Usually alternator and ignition are the first suspects. Also could be the
blower motor. Make sure you have the proper spark plug wires and plugs.
Check all of your connections for the stereo and also, don't run any speaker
wires parallel with power wires. Keep them as far away as possible.

Not using spark plugs with the first letter of their nomenclature
being "R" for radio restrictor.
