True statement about high tension sparks from aftermarket ignitions. I just put
a Crane HI-6 ignition and MSD Blaster II coil on my car. Dan Garrison was
pulling off plug wires to check a balance condition (he was using pliers) and
the spark was climbing a good 1 1/2" out of the distributor cap tower to grab
the plug wire! And it was a very solid blue-white spark, not the usual puny
little yellow-white arc. The sound was a very loud snap, not a tick. Scared the
hell out of me!

Last but not least, NEVER hold a spark plug wire while moving the crank even
by hand or be prepared for the worst high tension spark of your life that
will numb parts of your body remote from the contact!!!
