OK, I'm not suggesting that something as simple as a cheap coil mounted cap would help in the following example, but "how bad it gets" is mentioned in some of MSDs own literature. MSD ignition produces so much power, and radiates so much "noise" that the EMI from the output can re-trigger through the pickup circuit.
They mention that, of course, as a caution pertaining to harness routing.
There was a thread on "one of the other forums" where a member had an MSD that was causing the VR to go nuts or vise versa.. As I recall he finally "fixed" it by changing to an integrated alternator / VR.
BPL, by the way is a particular sore spot for me, because the FCC took that as an opportunity to sidestep and backstep from Part15 issues. One official actually suggested that if hams wanted to hear anything, they should "move further away."
Yeh. That'll work. About the same time I win Powerball.
