Good Day to All! I hope all are enjoying one.
When shopping around for spark plug wires, I noticed that some had specs for Ohms like, 150, 170, 300, 500-800, etc... How do these Specs effect the running of the engine, Radio Interference, EMI... how, what, why, etc... For one, I'd just like to know because I'm the curious type, and I find all of this kind of stuff interesting. Otherwise I'd just get a box of OEM wires and call it a day. Should I be concerned about those Specs when shopping for new wires, and if so, why. I can get a great deal on some 150 Ohm and 300 Ohm nicely colored 5mm wires from Accel. Not all Spark Plug Wire manufacturers list the resistance specs. Some of the ones I looked at from Accel have those specs listed.
Best Regards to All,
John
