I 2nd that shocking revelation!! I personally enjoy a good zap from your basic 110 household inlet too... but there is nothing like getting the piss shocked out of me for doing a manual adjustment on a dist while at 1200RPM... hince the whole discussion that ultimatelystarted this thread. A modern timing light & good connections/quality wires (I bought the Taylors this time) should make things a little better. I never claimed that I was most knowledgable about race motors when I cam on here, but you guys are helping me a bunch!!
