Can someone give me a shout out for what sorta resistance readings i should be getting for the plug leads on a ea82 carby engine?

3 of the 4 range from 5-7k ohms, and the 4th (the longest) is reading around 13k ohms.

Is this high?

Cheers,

Andy

3-8k ohms per foot is acceptable, you can get better quality leads with a spiral inductive core 50-150 ohms per foot, they still have RF suppression.
