Tony - it sounds like you have so much resistance, the spark can't find a
way through to ground. It is surprising to read of you getting zapped
holding a new, clean, HT lead.
Do you have the correct rotor and are you using solid metal-core HT leads?
If you have modern, carbon core leads, the screw connection in the
distributor cap will make an uncertain connection.
If the rotor came with your electronic ignition system (I am not familiar
with what you have installed) compare it's dimensions with a traditional
rotor. If a different size, it may not be distributing the spark as
intended.
