Have someone you don't particularly like or your local Model A know-it-all hold onto the brass strip going to the number one plug. Crank the engine over a few times with the ignition on. If the person screams or jumps ten feet in the air or is seen running around shaking his hand like it was covered with stinging bees then the distributer body is OK and the fault must be in the plug. If nothing happens, then the distributer body is at fault. I'm just kidding. Don't really do this. You may injure someone or kill them. I would feel very sad and guilty if that happened.
