Indeed you were

Seriously though, I never realised how much of a shock you can get testing for a spark. Literally all up my arm and across my chest, it was like a shock off the mains!

I won't be using that old famous method for testing a spark again :S

Glad you got it sorted. This same thing happened to me years ago. I had no markings to tell which lead went to which cylinder though!

I believe that you do get quite a "belt" from modern ignition systems. The voltage of the spark is far greater than the old distributor systems.

Hope the weather holds up for you today to get the rest sorted.

Good Luck

As a warning, watch messing with the leads removed as it can goose the DIS pack (the spark voltage is lower but, the current is much higher as the energy is constant) plus, the voltage is in excess of 45KV! (much lower in air)

glad its sorted maybe just a loose lead its dark down there in land of dis packs
