is that normal? i had 8 msd wires and one went bad - the 7 that are good test at 0.02-0.03 on the multimeter when it is set to 20K

i got one stock cable that i tested and it read 0.38 at 20K on the multimeter - should i go ahead and put this one in? or should i find a new single stock wire? or try to find a single msd wire?


thank you

 

30-50 ohms on MSD plug wires and 1200-1500 ohms on factory wires for me.

 

does that mean my stock wire is good and ok to put with the msd wires?

sorry im new to cars

thank you

 

Yes you can use the one stock wire with the MSD, shouldnt have a problem.

 

You can use it, but all it means is that the stock wire carries A LOT more resistance than the MSD wire. Since current is voltage divided by resistance, it means you get less current through the stock wires, making for a less powerful ignition system. MSD wires are much more 'efficient' than stockers, if you will.

 

put it in and forget about it. ill give ya my left nut if you feel a difference. privided you want it. slightly abused.

 

i doubt you will feel/see a difference
