- This is a good subject. Today I picked up a box of Champion and a box of= NGK spark plugs. Not so long ago I had a bad Champion straight out of th= e box. I mean, an infinite resistance from the top

- Low voltage resistance isn't a terribly useful indicator for a spark plug. If you think about it, the current actually flows THROUGH the plug which is always an infinite resistance when checked with

- The internal resistance is supposed to reduce the electrical energy radiated from the plug/plug wires at radio frequencies. Without it you might hear a pop in the radio each time a plug fired. As to

- Thanks for the info on the spark plugs. The Champion box gives a cut-aw= ay diagram of the plug showing a "patented semi-conductor supressor...eliminates radio frequency interference" I wonder if th

- That "patented.....suppressor" is a resistor. Don't worry about the resistance of the plugs, just use `em. Why, I remember one specialty plug (name escapes this OF now) that had a spark gap inside t

- As I have stated many times, a multimeter can give misleading impressions when used to measure resistance of HT circuits. You have about 40Kv in the HT side of the coil. THis is enough to easily caus
