    I have seen park terminals for the plug wires and they were grounded. Can’t remember where though…

    I suspect the modern ignition uses higher voltage than the older point system. The higher voltage might be harder on the coil insulation.

    When I got my omc`15 it was in a box all apart. The coils had burn marks right through the outer plastic cover. I tore one down just to see. Could not believe the damage. I checked for spark on the coil before autopsy and it did spark fine.
