EDIS 8 spark problems

[Bigdaddy6464]

Hi, new poster, I'm trying to get my EDIS 8 system working before I hook up my Megasquirt 2 v3 and I'm having an odd problem.

After hooking up the module, coils, and VR sensor, I tested each coil output with a spark tester and had spark from all 4 coils. Tried to start it, nothing. Pulled a plug and grounded to the head, no spark or very very weak spark, if I pull it a little ways away from the head I get a nice blue spark across the gap and to the head. With the plug in the head, I've attached a spark tester that clips to the plug, I get spark in the tester and it jumps from the tester clip to the head, a distance of at least a half inch. It seems raising the resistance helps it create a spark.

I'm running NGK R5671a-7 plugs and MSD 8.5mm Super conductor plug wires. Replaced the plugs even though the ones I had in it only had a few hours running time, same thing.

Replaced the non resistor plugs with resistor plugs and it fired right up. Better then it ever did before switching over to the Edis setup. Now to get the MegaSquirt to work.

What is the total resistance of plug and lead?
