'51 Buick plug wires-what type ?

I was thinking of replacing the tired looking AC46 plugs in my car with  a set of NOS AC R46 (resister) plugs I found on eBay. If my existing plug wires are carbon core , could the combination of the these wires together with the resister plugs adversely affect performance or cause misfires ? I'm wondering if the stock coil, condenser, and the original ignition system setup, would be able to deliver sufficient spark ? I read an old post discussing carbon vs. solid core but it didn't address using resister plugs.

 

Did these cars originally have solid wire or carbon cored ?

 

The car an AM radio but I don't plan on adding any fancy electronics or electronic ignition. Thank you.
