Did you try checking the resistance with a DVM? Normally about 5000

I didn't. Must buy one.

Yes you must. The SD1 *will* have electrical problems and the vast
majority will be poor connections or dirty switches etc fixed for zero
cost - provided you can fault find properly.
They are a near essential item for any serious home mechanic.

But as it ran with the old, and not with the new, I went
with leaving the old on, and I'm going to return the new.

If one of the new ones was shorting somewhere, would that kill the whole
ignition process on all cylinders, or just the affected one?

I was thinking along the lines of poorly made terminations on the cables -
so open circuit rather than short, as there's nothing in an HT cable to
short to. Although rather unlikely on them all. You can get cross firing
if you alter the layout of the cables, though - that's what the clip in
cable guides are for.

I swapped the cables 1 by one making sure I didn't mix the order.

When I swapped back, I did king lead first, then the first (drivers
side) bank, then the passenger side bank.
Each time trying it to see if it would fire.
On the passenger side, tried different combinations of single leads, and
with any three new, and 1 old, nothing fired. but all 4 old on that side
and it sprang to life and ran fine.
