<div> First, why on earth did you have a spark plug lead
on a radiator cap??? (presume you meant 'distributor'
cap?)<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
It looks like you have your multimeter set to diode test
(maybe that's how continuity works on your MM?).* The
reading is probably ohms, indicating a very low
resistance circuit, but to be sure turn the MM control
knob one click clockwise, to the 200 ohm range ('200
omega').* It'll probably give the same reading; i.e.
.792 ohms, which is about what you'd expect from a short
stranded copper wire lead (IIRC, one ohm per foot of
cable is considered normal, even copper has some
resistance).<br clear="none">

<div> Hi guys,
<div class="ydp44c5e8d9yiv6939238946">Educate me. When
doing some preventative maintenance, I pulled a spark
plug lead out of the radiator cap (using a 123
distributor) the cable pulled away from the terminal -
not a particularly unusual outcome. Got a new 90
degree terminal and crimped it on to the cable
(Pertronix cable) and before I put the boot on the end
of the cable I thought I would check the continuity.
It barely dropped below 1.</div>

<div class="ydp44c5e8d9yiv6939238946">So then I checked
a brand new, never used, cable made-up by AH Spares.
As shown in the image below when the sensors are
attached to each end of the cable I get a reading of
.792 which is not sufficient to even sound the beeper
on the multimeter device. I suppose there are degrees
of continuity (not just on/off) but I guess I expected
the alarm to sound and the reading to drop to near
zero.</div>
