Title: ZAP!!
Post by: just one more on August 15, 2012, 02:39:47 PM
I've had msd ignition for about 10 years now, i always new it was a hot setup but never new just how hot...........
until the other day, we were setting my timing and had a bare wire on the timing light, and holy mary mother of god
i got zapped like I've never been zapped before lol my buddy said the arch looked like a bolt of lightning, all i know is i had
to check my shorts afterwords. So if you've ever wondered about this, let it be known that msd is powerful.

Just a f.y.i.

Msd boxes discharge power when you turn the key off. My dad got zapped by one, he pretty much said the same thing loll
