	Quick followup.  Big thanks to Mike Sylvester who had a spare coil he 
let me borrow!  Turn out it was not the coil, but the #5 wire.  Shorting 
right through the boot at the spark-plug to the valve cover gasket. 
Presented just like a bad coil.

	Now I just need to source a replacement wire from my FLAPS!

	Thanks for all the help!
