Ignition / Electrical Gremlins

About 3000 ohms per foot is a good silicon lead.

Any spiral wire lead is an improvement, but think about the airgap (rotor to cap terminal) resistance. Obviously there are two sparks occurring at the same time for each cylinder to fire. When you can run the gap down to near zero, there is less loss in the cap.

I buy and use the MSD kits that I have to make up one end. That way the wires are the correct length for what ever motor I installed them on. Much better looking that factory made wires.

The last set I measured was MSD 8mm and found two were twice the ohms reading of the others.

I removed the boots and check from conductor to conductor. On one the factory crimp was bad. The other wire I could not prove which end was bad, it might have been the end that I made up. So I replaced both ends and got a good reading.

I would suggest you measure the wire by putting the meter probe on the conductor not the steel terminals. If you get a different reading than terminal to termingal then check the crimp.
