Whats up guys, need help on testing the resistance on MSD 8.8 wires. I dont know how to test this but maybe someone can help me? What seting do you need on the volt meter and what resistance are the suppose to read. Need help figuring thing like that out. Please help

set your meter to ohmmeter, low resistance range. if your using a digital it will read automatically. i cant remember what they are supposed to read, but its only a few ohms...why you testing them?

I have a missfire and i cant find out why. Someone told me to check that and the plugs"for any broken ones"

I believe Msd 8.5 wires are 40-50 ohms of resistance per foot??

Thats what the boxs said but I was woundering how do you test them with a volt meter and what seting do you put it on?

Set your meter on the lowest ohm reading but enough to read what your measuring...if that makes since. You want to expand the reading as much as possible. What kind of meter are you using, digital or analog? Digital usually has auto resistance reading as stated above.
