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.

 

Then that's going to be the first thing that i'm going to try tomorrow morning! hopefully that solves the problem!
