<VV> ignition wire resistance

[N6nev at aol.com]

Distributed Resistance wire. This type has a fiber glass  core impregnated 
with latex graphite. This type of wire provides the maximum  amount of radio 
frequency interference (RFI) suppression. RFI occurs when high  voltage passes 
through the plug wires. Creating a controlled amount of  resistance in the wire 
(3,000 to 12,000 ohms per foot) suppresses RFI and  prevents sensitive onboard 
electronics from picking up false signals that could  cause driveability 
problems.   (as I recall its 6k per  ft, )

What's  the average resistance per foot of ignition wire? 1.5k/ft?
