hi brad, every time i here of someone"testing there discharges" with a finger, it makes me cringe! please a better way is to run a wire either from an earth ground or a chassie grounnd, then crimp a lenght of small copper tubing on the end. silicone it into a piece of 1/2" pvc tubeing. please use this instead of a body part. every scince i carelessly got hit by my capacitor, i am very leary. ps. i'm still trying to get a spell checker.........marc
