Default Nead help on WIERD audio problem

My AM/FM/CD player has had a strange problem since I got it back from the paint shop. It words fine with the engine off, but cuts out when its running in proportion with the RPMs. I won't go into time and money invested on this, but it is RF interference that happens with any radio, even if not using power from the car. This is not static, but cutting out. I have done nothing new electrically. The only thing I can think of is I have a Petronics ignition that might have suddenly gone weird. Any ideas?

It is not with your new ignition bro. I had this problem on my 79. There was a short in my wiring from the antenna to the radio. I had to replace the whole wiring. It is very easy to do. No sweat. But you might want to put the head unit in a friends car also to make sure it isn't the sterio that might be shoting out.

Good luck and look forward to see how you do.

God-bless america.....
