Default OUCH!!! Dizzy Shock. Any Ideas?

Alright guys. I was shocked by my dizzy with MSD Cap. I thought maybe it was leeking spark so I switched it over to a stock Dizzy. It is still doing it.

Never ever happened before. Ground wires appear to all be in tact. Any ideas?

**** happens. Keep your hand away from the distributor while the car is running. It's happened to me before. Just make sure it doesn't ground back to the car through your twig and berries... (Thank god this has not happened to me...)

No way. This is not a normal thing. How are you supposed to adjust your timing if you can't touch the dizzy while the car is running???

And thank god it didn't ground out on the ole trunk and tomatoes. :-)

I keep my hand on the metal leg that bolts to the cam cap, I figure that way, at least it would go through my whole stupid body if it bites me...
