Shocking! Well, tingly anyway. Bad ground? 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be BrickOCheese on  Fri Feb 28 08:16 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Was reaching my hand down beside the main wire from the coil to the dist. cap with the engine running and could feel some of the current seek a path through my hand.

Is this normal? Or do I have not so good ground in the car? Main strap to firewall is on tight. Car runs fine. Wires (read: insulation) is fine.

Just something to avoid while working in there? I know that thing is juiced!

Thanks

P.S. If normal, why does everyone go shootin' carb cleaner and such looking for leaks...seems, well... gutsy?
