It's OK.. I can dumb it down... :)
Delivering the spark with low resistance wires does make it easy for the spark to get to the plug, but the higher resistance wire will create a greater voltage spike at the plug taking advantage of the other high performance components that would otherwise shoot their wad prematurely. Why have an HEI coil that can produce 45KV when your wires let it go at 25-30KV? Again depending on the quality of the cap and rotor as well as which design, brass or aluminum contacts, thickness of material etc... The higher resistance wires may be just what you need. Have you checked the resistance of what you currently run? Part of the idea behind the large HEI cap was greater distance between the posts to help prevent arcing to other cylinders in high humidity etc... Of course it also gives you a place to mount the coil... If you want to run lower resistance wires then you should up the gap or resistance of the plug to help achieve the spark your other components were designed to create.
