Question Checking plug wires

Can anyone tell me how to check plug wires for resistance? I have a set installed that I made up and want to rule out any that may not be firing. Mainly, what setting do I put multimeter on and is it supposed to fluctuate? I am just getting back into cars so I have forgotten many of these little things. Thank you all again.

I believe it is the ohms scale. They will probably all be close with no fluctuation. This is a guess from memory. Possibly someone else will come along to confirm. Good luck with it.
