So as the resident moron, I feel from time to time it is my duty to share my dumbass mistakes. So the other day I had a set of plugs I was gapping on an old Snap On Ignition Simulator Machine. Many of you know what I am talking about. There was a GM HEI unit that I had my plugs attached to. If you dont know, the HEI units deliever a MUCH hotter spark than normal distributors. So as I was watching my plugs, I noticed that one of the wires was arcing to the machine body. Not even thinking, I reached out to grab the wire and move it.

BAD MOVE!!

I got shocked so badly my hand shook for 30 minutes afterward. IT WAS AWESOME

so the lesson of this is..............................................
DONT GRAB PLUG WIRES WHILE THE VECHILE IS STILL RUNNING!!!

I got lucky I wasnt going to grab the wire, i was just gonna push it.

Whoops!!!!

We used to try to find someone like you when we had a miss we just couldnt locate. There is always one in the crowd when you ask them to grab each wire and see which one shocks you so you know what cylinder is was that always says I'll do it!!!! Now I know where to go for just such that trouble shooting helping aid!!

I did the same **** stunt a few years back. Tried to disconnect a plug wire at the cap to isolate a misfire...well, you know the rest. Fired from the cap into my hand! That **** does sting for a while. Reminded me of when I accidentally discharged a CRT picture tube with my forearm...

If you're "doin' the car audio thing" then you ought to know about stiffening capacitors. . . Ever arc the positive and negative terminals on one? I'll tell you from experience: DON'T -- it will shoot your *** 10 feet across an install bay, leave your hair standing straight on end for about 30 minutes, blow up the cap, and leave a VERY nasty smell in the bay!

Um. . . Not that I would know anything about that, though. . .

*Looks sheepish*

[Maximus]

And I must say it"Here's your sign" LMFAO!!

[T Man]

i cant say I have ever done something like that, and now i wont. We dont ever do any installs big enough to warrent caps though.

Hey T Man, you're missing the best part of the quote in your sig:

"Smells like. . . Victory."

[T Man]
