today i was cranking my car over without the coil plugged in doing some compression tests. I couldent believe how much spark power my car has. It was literally jumping off the coil all the way to the ground wire at the bottom....probably 4 or 5 inches! when i took a plug wire off while it was running it jumped from the dist to the intake manifold. It sounded like a lightning show! thought it was kinda cool!

It's cool but not good for the ignition components especially.

It's amazing how much boosted engines quell that strong spark.
