Dave,
Once upon a time, soon to return as I get my roadster running and ready
for a tune-up, I measured the plug wires as a standard part of my
2-3,000 mile engine tuning. It was agreed among my friends that 5,000
Ohms/foot was a maximum limit for radio resistance plug wires. I often
used a lower standard and tried to keep them near 1,000 Ohms total.
If you are using solid wire your ohmmeter should only show about 1 Ohm
maximum. You are supposed to be measuring a dead short on a solid wire.
