I believe its 2.3 ohms I saw here recently but you could do a search on it. Stick each one on a battery and see if they light up bright orange. Careful not to burn them out though.

What is the brand name on the GP's, you want to avoid Autolites. They may break or swell up to the point they can't be removed. ZD10 or ZD11 Motorcrafts are the ones you want. Be sure they say BERU on them. BTW: NEw GP's should be 4 ohms or lower. Used ones should be less the 8 ohms. Anything higher and the GP is getting weak. These values are testing just the GP, not through the VC/UVC wire harnesses.
