Sorry for the lame Newbie-type Question but > never heard of it as that. How was the resistor end "open"? There is a resistor built inside the brown bakelite spark plug connector on the outer end of each SP wire. These are separately replacable parts. Open is just the jargon for "no connection at all" or infinite resistance. > And what should the wire resistance should be too? Does infinate mean that > the wire is bad? The resistance of the wire itself is virtually zero, but the resistance built into the brown bakelite SP connector is 1000 Ohms. This is what you should measure if you measure from one end of the wire, including all it's components, to the other. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
