Tracking high CO AND HC in emissions I am looking at elements related to combustion of air/fuel mix.

Specifically I am curious about the resistance in the ignition cables.

It does not seem to matter between the distributor to the plug (?).

But I am seeing that the HT cable has a specified resistance and that the output voltage of the coil has to do with the resistance to the distributor.

I find that a replacement HT cable I installed in 2008 is 0.848 kohm
while specification is 2-3.5 kohm.
The old HT cable is 2.828 kohm.

Am I correct about the coil to distributor resistance
and that this .848 kohm is too low?
