Spark plug wire resistance.
I made some of my own spark plug wires so there were a custom length, and everything seemed to go fine.
-
I want to use my multimeter to test them somehow, like maybe the resistance and how good the connections are.
-
What setting on the multimeter can I use for this kind of testing? I don't know the names of the settings so if you could show me the symbol that'll be on the meter that would be great.

Thanks.

if you a ohm meter to check spark wires, you're going to be in for a shock!
they are not like regular copper wire. the're a carbon filament that will read at least several thousand ohms resistance. if you took care to follow the manufacturer's directions, you should be ok.
