Ouch! That sucks it was something like that, glad you got it nailed though

Oh bummer that it was something like that, but I'm glad it's sorted at least.
Modern ignition parts can be bad news unfortunately. A friend of mine has found things like distributor caps that are conductive at the voltages they have to operate at (and hence should insulate against).
TBH, that's why I'm always loathe to replace any of the ignition parts on my cars - because modern stuff can be such cheap rubbish
so all the ignition stuff on my cars is much older than probably anyone on here would advise...
