RJ, Those high voltage high energy ignitions are an exception to our standard rule of using copper core plug wires on those relatively low energy (especially magnetos) old tractor ignitions. In addition to operating often at higher voltages from running wider plug gaps which requires better plug wire insulation, I believe Pertronix (on some of its ignitions at least) requires some current limiting and resistive ballasting in the plug wires themselves which is achieved by the use of the carbon core conductors. I think thats more the reason they use them versus any radio or interference suppression problems, not sure, ask them !!!!
