Tom,
I think either system I or II will kill you if you are grabbing the wrong wire in the proper way, but other than that, you will get a wake up call if you are holding a wire when it fires!!! They develop a lot of voltage either way!

Steve...that's not the greatest news...that feature described by George was one of the ones that really sold me and was one of the features an absent minded mechanic like me really needs. I have been ZAPPPPPPED!!! a few times and a "wake up call" (LOL) is not a fair description!!!!!! Silly me...I have never liked being the conductor of electricity. I remember screwing around in high school with an Excel coil in my Mustang that supposedly put out 50K volts or something like that and my friends and I use to marvel at how far the spark would jump from the coil to the unplugged coil wire WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING....makes for some interesting night time fireworks. Surprisingly we lived through that period of our lives.
