First, why on earth did you have a spark plug lead on a radiator cap??? (p=
resume you meant 'distributor' cap?)
=20
It looks like you have your multimeter set to diode test (maybe that's how=
continuity works on your MM?).* The reading is probably ohms, indicating a=
very low resistance circuit, but to be sure turn the MM control knob one c=
lick clockwise, to the 200 ohm range ('200 omega').* It'll probably give th=
e same reading; i.e. .792 ohms, which is about what you'd expect from a sho=
rt stranded copper wire lead (IIRC, one ohm per foot of cable is considered=
normal, even copper has some resistance).

drop to near zero.=20
Could someone interpret these findings for me?=20
Thanks, as always.=20
