Ed,
High voltage (tension as you called) is indeed the fat (+/- 1/4" diameter) center wire from coil to distributor. You can also use a test wire to ground the plug. I grab the spark plug electrode with a wire with alligator clips on two ends. The second clip I attach to a solid ground. From there, I don't run the risk of being in the path to ground, which won't kill, but will make you jump.
