Re: Ignition system shocks



Was a Ford Escort that bit me. Inline 4 with plugs across the front.
Brushed across wire/boot with my fore arm. As you say, jumped
backwards about 20 feet. I remember it made my teeth hurt.

Only time I touch ANYTHING on ignition while engine running is
adjusting time. Even then only move distributor with vacuum advance
diaphragm (unfortunately very close to belts & fan on big block Ford).
Test for spark from safety of a timing light.
