Hmmmm.... No fireworks.    ----No sparking showing at the distributor in the
dark until I put a finger on the coil wire as it enters the distributor cap...
...then Zap!
I'll fry cutting a fresh end on the distributor wire and see if that fixes
that.

  Try running it in the dark.  The fireworks will be great.  (How I found a
  cracked nipple on my coil)

  Ok, now this is getting ridiculous.

  While working on my carbs, and checking the timing, I have been getting
  zapped
  anytime I touch the distributor cap.
  The cap is relatively new, and I would replace it if they were easier to
  find.....even if just to troubleshoot...
  How can I determine if it is cracked or if it is a wire etc? -Both cap and
  wires are new, but have been in and sitting unused for about 2 years.
