I measured the SPS wires I have again. Wire 4 is 367 Ohms, Wire 1 is
597 Ohms. Haven't yet measured Wires 2 and 3. Assuming that I'm not
measuring the resistance incorrectly (put one multimeter probe in one
end of the wire, and the other probe in the other end), should I be
worried about very low resistance? A visual check of the wires while
the engine is running indicates that there's no arcing along wires,
i.e., no worn insulation.
I just got a pack of Autolite double-platinums. If the wires are still
good, I'll keep the wires and just replace the sparks.
