Hmmm, I'd say check the distributor cap for cracks and the plug wires again...

Everything checked out.

Maybe its the wiring to the distributor? I dunno. Poop

Something somewhere has to be shorting out in order to energize the intake manifold... Starter wire against the block?

I had this issue once. It was from rain though. It was raining really bad, and i don't have any of the parts that keep rain from your engine well, got some water on distributor and plug wires. The issue was anytime i tried to accelerate no dice, missed badly. Light, to no throttle it was okay. I was feeling around, on the plug wires at the distributor, and zap, major shock, that **** hurts. Well, of course i had to make sure it wasn't a fluke, so i did it again, i know smart. So plulled of the wires, dried it all, put some dielectric grease and problem solved.

I don't really have much help to your situation, other then it def. sounds like you have a major short. You only get shocked when its running right... so likely not form your battery then, starter area. Have you spliced into any wires from your distributor or anything like that. Running MSD?

 

my car did this same thing(the clattering) turns out the rear mount rubber had broken, and the braket was touching the crossmember, resonating through the engine

 

but whats strange is that this whole occurance was out of nowhere. it was running great for weeks, then, shuts off, and now it clicks and shocks.

And when the head was off, I went through the whole wiring harness and nothing was out of the oridinary.

I cant even drive it because it runs like **** at 2k rpm and bogs, etc.

 

This may be obvious, but have you checked around the fusebox for the noise? Youd di says this all started with the main fuse...

Its defintely Intake Manifold. The fuse box looks fine with no wires grounding our or anything

 

no progress.

Any other help. Id like to get this fixed so I can sell the car, rather than parting out

 

Do you have a meter? I'd start check for voltage on the intake manifold, then slowly pull each plug and see when it drop off. Repeat until you find the source of the voltage (assuming that there really is voltage emitting from the intake manifold), I could see that severly f-ing up some ****.
