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!
