I'm not dismissing Brian's words or methods, but when you're working on your car, especially timing it, don't forget that you've made it easy for the spark to jump out at bite you too! Sure electricity will take the path of least resistance, and you may be it. I found out the hard way timing a customers car and the spark went through my sweating wrist and out through my elbow.

Of course your sparking high voltage to ground, you are poking holes on your protective boots so of course it will jump. it will happen with any set of plugs and wires when you gopoking holes in your boots.. Your light is providing the least amount of resistance to ground. so of course it will spark. Chances are good you have waaaay more resistance in the plugs than the test light. as you should.

It was common practice to poke a distributor boot to test spark. A quality book with dielectric grease would keep the moisture away, but you're absolutely right..... 20 years ago, while timing a customer's car, the spark jumped to my sweaty wrist and out through my elbow. The stock coil wouldn't have been so bad, but a Crane Hi-6 ignition box and coil hurt pretty good.

Cant you also take an ohm meter to the wire? I mean it should be obviously higher resistance. If you get the suppliers specs for ohms per foot, you can do the math for length of wire, and see if its in spec to begin with. I run the moroso ultra 40's to hopefully avoid most of this.
