TX Compression Testing QUESTION - Yes i searched...

There seems to be something i am unsure of (my first carb'd engine...).
When performing the compression test, should I unplug anything in the way of IGNITION? Car has no plug wires on it at the moment, and wanted to compression test tonight. I just don't want to be mildly electrocuted by touching the chassis/body while cranking the car with no wires on it...

On my 86 and 88 all i had to do was unplug EGI fuse, but that is irrelevant here..

Any help?

Thanks,

If you had read the mazda FSM you would know that you don't need to pull anything for a 12A aside from spark plugs. Also, mildly electrocuted would be the same as extremely electrocuted, as electrocuted means to die from electric shock.
