Default Quick question, plug wires bad?

I tried to search this but I couldn't get a real number, what is the normal amount of resistance in a set of plug wires, specifically MSD's? I got curious and checked mine with the fluke and got 7 of them 29-31 ohms and one 1200 ohms (obviously thats bad). What should an MSD wire typically read?

In a single 12 inch length of Super Conductor Wire there is only 40 - 50 ohms of resistance.
Thats from MSD's website. Is that one of my wires?

No they are about 2 years old. So that one is definitely bad. I was changing the plugs in the first place, and the one that had the wire on it with 1200ohm is toasted, completely covered in junk and looks pretty bad. Guess I'm on my way to pick up a new set of wires now too.
