spark plug wire resistance?
 
anybody know what it should be?

sweetbmxrider 10-18-2009 04:39 PM

what kind of wires?

ib4200 10-18-2009 04:44 PM

the electrical kind.

i replaced them and i had the original ones on there and im just wondering what they should be

sweetbmxrider 10-18-2009 04:47 PM

depending on the brand, they are different resistance per foot. ie msd's vs stock

JL8Jeff 10-18-2009 10:02 PM

What engine? LS1's have equal length wires so they should all be the same range. Older style Chevy V8's have uneven lengths so they will be different. Stock replacement vs aftermarket will make a big difference also.

S.J.SLEEPER 10-18-2009 10:08 PM

as previous statements , ls1 equal lenghts so are the same. so test yours vrs. the new ones.
if you have sbc or v6 than you can test each idividual one vrs. stock ones to see if you have less resistance w/ the new ones.

and..... as sweetbmx'r stated all wires have differnt resistance, depends on the type of wire, core material,lenght , etc...

in a nutshell, your wasting your time w/ resistance values, just put a set of nice taylors or msd's on it and call it a day.

its an lt1 fyi

i replaced them because i pulled the boot and wire inside off the ends of a couple of them by accedent and i was wondering if the wire inside of them was broken

sweetbmxrider 10-19-2009 06:31 PM

if the wire was physically broken, it wouldn't show resistance

Are you running OTVC wires or stock routing?

ib4200 10-20-2009 02:31 PM

stock.

LTb1ow 10-20-2009 02:48 PM

I got way to many stock wires man, if you need a set or two lemme know.

Heh. Reading FTW.

Anyway, to answer your question, stockers should be 10000 - 15000 Ohms per foot.

thanks. that took too long to get an answer. slackers:rofl:
