I don't think the wires are leaking voltage through the insulation.
More than likely the induction voltage was causing some of the energy
to travel down the wrong set of wires and cause erratic spark
performance. If it is a regular breakdown of insulation you should be
able to get a miss by laying the sheathed wires on a ground source
(valve cover) the pathway will be a lot easier to jump than a spark
gap. As for a correct resistance on plugs wires et all. Who knows? but
at the voltage levels you are dealing with (10,000 volts or better) and
the small amount of resistance the voltage drop is pretty minimal see

wouldn't worry to much about the actual value rather that is in fact
there in some form; plugs, wires or rotor but not all three ; )
