just test for spark by sticking a screwdriver in the end of your spark plug wire and hold the screwdriver shaft a 1/4 inch away from the block to see the spark jump



When it shocks the **** out of you it will only make you **** yourself a little bit...

holding the end of the wire will most likely shock you but if you hold it a little up the wire theres no problem.



dad says grandpa just held the wire and let it shock him to check for spark

I read that and did it wrong though. I thought I was supposed to hold the spark plug up and touch a screwdriver to it.



Hurt kinda bad.
