I buy and use the MSD kits that I have to make up one end. That way the wires are the correct length for what ever motor I installed them on. Much better looking that factory made wires.

The last set I measured was MSD 8mm and found two were twice the ohms reading of the others.

I removed the boots and check from conductor to conductor. On one the factory crimp was bad. The other wire I could not prove which end was bad, it might have been the end that I made up. So I replaced both ends and got a good reading.

I would suggest you measure the wire by putting the meter probe on the conductor not the steel terminals. If you get a different reading than terminal to termingal then check the crimp.
