ok so i put on new plugs wires cap and roter.
the plugs/wires that were arcing to the block are still arcing. did i
miss something? should reinstall the plugs? is there suppose to be
silicone or something between the plug and the wire?
Silicone will only make it easy to pull the boots off the plugs.
Just sounds like el-cheapo 1k ohm/ft plug wires and RFI friendly resistor
plugs.
Remember my statement about current taking the path of least
resistance......
I rest my case !
High frequency AC is still a wonderful
anecdote.....

Maybe it has to do with routing. Are the wires in their holders keeping them
away from the block and valve covers?

Easy to find out if its the plugs. Just swap places of them betven
those who sparks and those who not sparks.
Let us know how its going
