Not just a resistance check. That won't show whether the insulation is breaking down. When the secondary current shorts to ground, the spark plug doesn't fire.
With a cold engine after dark, take off the spark plug cover, get a windex bottle with water. Start the engine, turn off all the lights, look for arcing. It'll be a dull blue glow around the wires. Spray on some water to make it more visible.
disclaimer.... If you've got a pacemaker wired up to your heart, get someone else to do this for you!
