Resistance value at spark lines ¿?

[deQuincey]

Hi,

a common test is to measure the resistance of the spark line;

like this:

the numer 1 sign says "see specifications"

but i have not been able to find anything in the blue books (i.e. the rotor must read 5000 Ohms)

so my question is:

if i meassure the line from the spark plug until the distributor cap, what resistance value should i read ?

the line considered that way includes:

- spark plug bakelite element that is nominal 1000 Ohm
- cable (nominal 0 Ohm)
- distributor plug (90 degree shape) .... Nominal ¿?
- distributor cap ....Nominal 0 Ohm ¿?

total = ¿?


p.s. in my car, the values range from 2100 to 2300 Ohm

but a friends car reads from 1300 to 1200 Ohm

can you assist ?

noone knows this value ?

you can use a multimeter and check for resistance, it is not complex
