You can measure resistance with an OHM meter, from the connection at the spark plug to the coil you should have between 1K-2K. Many times there is "leakage" from the wires that can be found with the coil cover removed & the engine running. Simply use a spray bottle with water * LIGHTLY spray them & see if the spark will bleed out!
