test for Ignition Output:

 

Hold medium wrench in one hand, Sears wrench preferred for accuracy

of test 'cause other smooth wrenches are too slick for throwin'!

 

With engine running', grab hold of the plug end of an ignition cable with the other hand

and hold on tight!

 

This will more than likely cause you to throw wrench! KV output is based on how far

the wrench wuz thrown!

 

10 feet =

approx. 10,000 volts

20 feet =

approx. 15,000 volts

30 feet =

approx. 25,000 volts

Over 30 feet =

Caution! Must be one of them new

dis-is-it ignition systems, use bigger

wrench and retest.

 

 

 

Electricity will not usually hurt you, instead it is the back of

your neck going through the hood latch that really ruins your day!!
