Hi Jeff, Graydon et al,

	Please don't flame me too hotly; I don't have my Bentley handy. But, if
memory serves, Audi recommends a plug wire with an internal impedence of 1K
ohm. I believe the rotor also has an internal impedence. I have no idea if
anything drastic happens if you don't follow these specs...but in my ol'
juggernaut('72 Mercury Montego 351W) I installed some nonresistor plugs one
time trying to improve its fuel economy and the thing "pinged" like hell until
I threw some resistor plugs in it(only a few miles). You don't want to have
your knock sensor constantly retarding your timing. JTH:-)

						Happy motoring,
