- as for the coil, you dont want to leave it 'open ended', as it will
generate extreme voltage to try to jump the gap. either jumper the coil
output lead to ground or just unplug the control lines going to the coil
(eliminating the spark alltogether).
- whatever fust does the fuel pump is the one you want to yank.
