Engine Swapping / Getting shocked when setting timing !
Quote from: TurboCoupe50;452112
AFAIK there are no difference in stock ignition components between SO & HO...
Simplifying process, basically voltage builds in coil till the spark plug fires, which grounds the voltage at approx 8-10Kv... Sooo assuming good spark plugs & wires, voltage should never build to the point it's jumping from the wires... A slight amount of corona is often visible in the dark, not really a big issue...

Getting shocked when setting timing !
Corona around 6 plugs !
Shocked when touching the coil on its side !
