coil was grounded, i had an spark plug connected to the end of plug wire from the coil and put it on top of upper intake and tried to crank it, no spark at all. Hope that answers your question.

Yeah i shocked myself in 1998, never will repeat the mistake so i do know what you are talking about, it sure wasn't pleasant.

Let us know how you make out...
