There is an internal resistor in the connector of the spark plug wire that is 3k Ohm. If there is poor contact internally this could cause the meter to jump.
However, even if the meter reads correctly the wires could still have internal issues. Remember the resistance measurements happen with very little voltage and very little current. In operation there is high-voltage and this behaves differently. If can have an internal pathway that only shorts the high-voltage.

Yes, I disconnected the wire from the plug and distributer. I made contact with the leads on the metallic circular “clip,” for lack of a better word, at each end.
Ill retest tomorrow at the correct setting. Thanks again.
