Weird ticking

Lately I have noticed a weird ticking in the radio when the car is running. When I shut her off the ticking stops and the radio is clear. This is prolly a plug wire that is arcing. I have Taylor OVC wires and in routing them they come into comtact with metal (alternator, power steering etc.) What can I do to fix this?

Check the spark plug gap. Also check if the wires are completely seated on the plugs and the posts on the opti. If all of this is allright, look at the car with the hood open idling in total darkness to try to locate the fault.
