The wire you are speaking about only carries 12V, and I believe its 18awg so it cant really carry anything more than about 16 amps. While technically still enough to kill a person, its extremely unlikely (if not impossible) to get shocked (or even feel anything), from the current in that wire. More than likely you were getting the voltage from the spark plug wires Drake Lawson 72 Square "Ginger" 63 Bug "Christine" > > I sometimes get shocked when I am turning the tightening nut on the dist > clamp.
