Sparkplug wire question...

There was a recent thread on measuring the resistance of sparkplug wires.
I was bored this afternoon and knew I had an old cheap set of plug wires
on the car, so I thought I'd put them on the ol' digital multimeter and
see what they said.  All of them read between 120-132kOhms!  Yikes!

So I got a plug wire kit from the parts store and measured one of them, 0!
0?

Am I dealing with two different types of wires?  If I use the kit, do I
need resistance plugs?  What's the diff between resistance plugs and
non-resistance plugs? (besides the obvious, does it matter which ones I
use? are both readily available?)

Could somebody clue me in...  thanks!
