I just checked the stock spark plug wire with my cheapo ohm meter. I get about 4000 ohms resistance in the wire. Which means if you just put an NGK resister spark plug cap on the end of the stock wire, you have roughly doubled the resistance in the circuit. Does this matter? I really don't know. jbfla and others report making the swap with no problems. FYI the wire fits into the coil using a simple screw post along with the rubber boot. Correction on June 6: The OEM wire has a crimped fitting that goes over the post in the coil; not sure how well this post would work as a "screw" into a bare spark plug wire.
