The burning really comes from the condenser not, er..., condensing, causing the points to arc as they open.
The wire from the condenser has to make contact with the moveable arm on the set.
If the wire is grounded. you wont get any fire, but you won't burn them either.
Show us a picture if you can tomorrow. Don't forget to use the 'macro' (flower looking thing) button on the camera!


I wonder what ever happened to the tractor guy?
