[T3] How to get the spark

["Ginger D.&Peter P." <gingerd@teleport.com>]

    I am still chasing down the reason for a poor running motor.
During this process I pulled the #1 and #2 plug wires out of the dist.
cap and I get no change in RPM!
    I can hear a small clicking sound when I break the contact (cap to
wire).  Shouldn't I see a big spark?
    I also tried disconnecting the spark plug end and touching it to
ground.  How does this work, the lead is up inside the insulator.  I'm
a little nervous around/Äí¡g things...
    Lastly, would a this problem have caused my points to burn
themselves up?
