Hey guys, I just changed my timing belt and am trying to adjust my timing with my timing light. according to the specs, i should adjust it at 16 degrees. Anyways, everytime i go to move my dustributor, i keep getting some serious shocks, after the third time i simply stopped and called it a day and figured i would ask here for advice. anyone?

you may need new plug wires.

they are brand new ngk! or could it be distributor cap? or a ground wire missing from valve cover to chassis

sounds like a ground wire for sure

are we suposed to be able to adjuste and move the distributor with the engine running?

Yes, that is how its done. Does sound like a ground then though, because for some reason it not following its ground path and its jump to you.
