1983 streetport rx7

hey yall im having an ignition problem with my leading coil. what would cause a arc between the positive and negative terminals on the ignition coil? I have bought a new msd coil and new wires and the same thing happens. The positive and negative wires going to the coil are in the right places as well. i only get spark to the spark plugs unless i unplug the wire and let it arc with the coil terminals. Any ideas appreciated, i have been screwing with with this for a month now and cant figure it out.

Sounds like a wire is wrong on your coils.
