Resistance measurements aren't really that useful, and if the wires are
greater than 2 or 3 years old, they're suspect.

At the really high volages that ignition systems work at, you can get
interesting things even if the resistance checks OK, because the wire
insulation could break down at high voltage, etc. I've seen it with TV
sets a few times...
