Ignition helll SOLVED :)

WEll after all that i did guess what it was a bad sparkplug in the number 3 cylynder caused all this i have no clue how. I went to my frineds shop he looked at it i told him what i had done he pulled the plug cuz i guess it was loose even tho i tightend them all down lastnight and he said it looked fine put it in and said problem solved. i drove 20 feet it started missing and jerking came back he put a new plug in ran allot better. Any idea how a sparkplug would cause all the wires to arch i would of never guessed it would be that. Well i ended up doin my second tume up this year lol cap rotor plugs all that fun stuff gonna do the fuel filter when i have time. Well im out just was letting you guys know the outcome of this

Probably because the spark had nowhere to go. What was wrong with the spark plug? Were the electrodes physically damaged? How are the gaps on the rest of the plugs?

Now you know why they say
"We lost the Indy race because of a lousy, broken $.50 part"
Great education David.

Thanks for the heads up on Pomona!!
6/2?
I DO HOPE IT's NOT 100* out there then.
I MAY GO!
I could use some stuff.
Pomona became a haven for too many people that think they own the best stuff & can charge ya the most for it.
I couldn't go down the aisles with a wagon anymore.
BUT I do know you can score big time cheapo deals!
I once got a carb there.
I paid $2 for it
I sold it for $300
I asked $400
What was it?
A Holley
BUT for a 1965 Chevelle Z-16, in MINT condition.
Yea, with the GM part number stamped on it & the Holley matching number, too.
For real.
I took a pic of it to send to the guy in Georgia for his one of the 201 Chevelle Z-16.
That was a way lucky score.
Tell me someone here knows what I am referring to (the Z-16)
Bring bungee cords, and water, lots of water.
It's only a 11 mile hike for the bargins.
You are getting to the parking lot by 6-6:30 right?
I like Long Beach swap meet, second Sunday.
The left overs at a better price from the Pomona swap meet, cooler ocean air & free parking. Less walking, too.
