Re: SBC 350 Engine Backfire Through Exhaust and Carb

Checked my wires resistance. They are a universal kit from MSD super wires 8.5mm and they have the following resistance rating ;
#1 wire = 127.5ohms
#2 wire = 124.6ohms
#3 wire = 139.9ohms
#4 wire = 110.8ohms
#5 wire = 94.7ohms
#6 wire = 110.3ohms
#7 wire = 87.0ohms
#8 wire = 105.5ohms

These wires are advertised as being 40 - 50ohms WTF?? Brand new. I wonder if the 40 - 50 ohms takes into account the ends of the wires which are crimped on?

Do these numbers indicate an issue as far as plug wire resistance goes?
