Vague directions for checking plug wires

["John Hofstetter" <hofs@domain.elided>]

John L. is probably just getting home from Tulare via Murphys.
Hopefully, nothing mechanical slowed him down. 
Ken, I don't remember the exact ohms per inch, and I can't ever
remember where I found the numbers, so I put the ohmmeter on the
disconnected wires and compare the resistances. If the wire is twice
as long, the resistance should be about twice as great. These
resistances run in the 10 - 20 K range as I recall. 
As vague as this sounds, I can always find bad wires with no problem.
Nice to see you at Tulare. Guess I told you that already. Nice dogs,
too.

Digesters,

I've been thinking about this alot. Seem like I'm getting a rougher 
idle and more misses than usual. All this after getting new plugs, 
wires, cap and rotor. I have a spare coil, maybe I should install that

and note any changes. How do you check of a plug wire is bad? John L, 
is there some kind of reading on my ohm meter I should look for?
