spark plug wires

So I ohmed my stock spark plug wires today. 7 of them were right at 350 ohms and one was just over 400. Not bad for 96,000 miles huh? I wish i would have done that before i spent fifty bucks for msd's dammit.

So.... is there a question somewhere in there that I missed? $50 is money well spent for new spark plug wires.

No, you didn't miss anything. I was just saying that i thought i was way overdue for sparkplug wires when in fact they were all still good.

Did you check the resistance on the new MSDs?

Yes, 7 of them were under 35 ohms, but one of them was over 400 ohms.

Update: MSD sent me a new spark plug wire for free to replace the bad one, so good customer service there. I still think there's much better things to spend money on than spark plug wires after checking my stock ones.
