Testing spark plug wires

[Sid]

Can spark plug wires be tested with an ohm meter or do I need a multi-meter? If a typical ohm meter can be used what would be the proper setting and what would be an acceptable resistance reading? Settings from 200m 2 20 200 or 1000?

Just don't cheap out when buying new wires. You definitely get what you pay for!

If I remember correctly spark plug wires should ave about 1000 ohms resistance per inch. Unless they are wire wires of course, then they should have essentially zero.
