ignition leads copper or carbon?

want new iginiton leads, read in pinto tuning manual that using supressed plugs(most are i think) and supressed leads isnt always a good way to go as it can cause misfire in tuned engines. apparently using supressed plugs and copper core non supressed leads is a much better way to go. all well and good but ive looked at magnecor and others and all seem to be carbon supressed leads. to protect radio signal but i ant got a radio so i dont care!! where can i get copper leads from? and do you agree with the manual? it is for a points igintion system by the way
