Can 12 volt power shock? Start the engine. Reach under the hood, and grab the coil wire. Come back and tell me what you felt. IF you can still type.
Well yes I did, on a 1970 460 CI Lincoln. Couldn't move my arm for a whole day after.
That's not 12 volts, the coil puts out 30,000 +,- volts.

Yup it's 12 volt battery in your car but it's amplified for sure depending what you touch when it's running!
I did the same thing years ago and it knocked me against the garage wall, thank god it didn't hang on to me!
Compliments from my 455 SD Pontiac! :C
