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.
