Default Questions on RF Interference

I have a C&H Ignition on a large gas engine. The instructions with the ignition say not to use a metal throttle pushrod even if you use plastic clevis'. It also says to keep the everything including charge jack, related to the ignition, away from the receiver. I have a rather unique problem in that I need a very rigid straight pushrod between throttle servo and engine; and because of rewiring existing holes, the ignition battery charge jack is right next to the MPI receiver switch. A couple of questions:

(1) If I do range checks and everything is ok, am I OK or is this RF issue intermitten?
(2) I have been told a CF rod conducts electrical signals just like metal. Is this true or am I a little safer using a CF throttle pushrod than metal. I already have plastic servo arm and Hughs plastic clevis'.
(3) Even with a good range check, should I go to the trouble of relocating the ignition charge jack - removing, filling and repainting the old hole. The CDI unit/switch/battery are about 8 inches from the receiver and 5 inches from the receiver battery. Thank you.
