Make sure that no two CONSECUTIVE firing plug wires are touching each other.

Keith (PackardV8), is this evidenced or an assumption? Often ignition cables touch each other, regardless whether metal or plastic-covered.

Once I have learned that the cables can be measured. The upper limit revolves around 25kΩ.
