spark plug wire check and ignition maitenance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i checked the resistance on my the original beru spark plug wires with a micronta analog multimeter and the resistance was 100,000 ohms.I think this is too much for a wire.should i replace them? and if i do what wires should i get?the original ones?or is it me that i am measuring inaccurately the wires.what is the normal value for the spark plug wires?

also while i am checking my ignition system.how can i check the dist rotor and cap? and if they are bad. could i replace them myself or is that a task to hard for a light diyer.and should take it to a mechanic.thank you

haven't a clue about resistance on the HT leads mate

Changing dizzy cap & rotor arm not difficult, the screws that hold the cap on can be difficult and can strip the thread in the alloy cover
