ROFLMAO. Arg, 'tis a nice tingle. (Down Periscope - the radio
guy providing power to the system thru his body). I still have
scars from a crt zap, in HS.
Our old family mechanic had a habit of asking you to hand a wrench
or other metallic tool while he was holding a plug wire from a
running car. Not pleasant but hardly lethal...

My father once pulled the Number 1 plug wire from our '49 Dodge
truck and plugged in my finger to the wire and started the truck.
I still remember the look on his face when he grabbed the door
handle, not realizing that I had my other hand on the fender, to
get out to me. It slapped him across the cab! It seems magnetos
put out more juice than coils then. I can still check a plug wire
by running it between my fingers while the engine idles. I feel
strangely at peace after I do.
Magnetos? I thought that they went out long before that. My ol' '31
Studebaker President had points/coil ignition! Two coils at that...
