Plug Wire Resistance 700 1990

Does anyone know what the resistance reading should be on a typically healthy plug wire? Is the ohm value a function of wire length? Also, how about the HT coil lead? (Bougicord 403 class F wires)

I can't find the info in the 700/900 FAQ, although it seems I saw it there before.

Thanks again.

    Maybe plug wire resistance is academic with the crappy resistor wire sets.
    I'd look at two things... Do you get a bright blue white spark (Good)
    and do the plug wires arc when its damp (Bad)

    Bill

    PS Use of dielectric silicone on the plug wire ends is a good idea.
    Its easy to trash a good wire if you have to pull on it like a gorilla.
