Subject:High resistance causing no spark?
From:Mike Jeffrey

Hello all,

I'm getting no spark at any of the plug wires... I tested the lead
from the coil to the center of the distributor cap and it showed
~16,000 ohms of resistance (if I'm reading the multimeter correctly).
Manual says max of 2400 - would this high resistance cause no spark,
or just very weak spark?

Anybody know anywhere in San Francisco that sells this wire
individually? All the FLAPS sell it as a (rather pricey) kit.

Cheers!
Mike.
