compression test question
 

I have a GM style HEI distributor and was going to perform a
compression test to check the status of my 258. Do I just have
to disconnect the supply wire to prevent any damage to the
distributor?

Thanks
Brad.

Brad,

You don't need to disconnect the distributor, as it won't hurt it to crank
the engine with it sparking, but for safety reasons it may be a good idea.
