Default spark plug interference on radio

1990 Dodge Dakota V-6. I solved my fuel pump problem. I replaced the fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributor, and rotor. The hiccup in the motor stopped and it runs the smoothest its ever run. The problem is now is that I have the spark plug ticking sound on my FM radio stations. What do I need to replace or fix.

Easiest solution is go to radio shack, or pretty much any truckstop, and get a filter for a CB radio. Splices into the power wire, and SHOULD take care of the problem. Actually, for the vehicle radio, you may need two filters, one for each power wire.
