I have a weak spark from my distributor.

I'm sorry, but I beg to differ with the statement "there is no weak spark". If the coil does not build to its full capacity, for what ever reason, then the spark will still be there, but weaker than otherwise if it builds to full capacity. The coil may be putting out only 25,000 volts instead of 45,000 volts. I dont know what the Explorer coils are supposed to put out, that figure is for reference only. All I know is, my 96 will jump spark from the coil a good 2" to my hand. I found that out the hard way.

^LOL! Been there done that. We all do it once. Kind of like double gasket on an oil filter. 1 time in a lifetime we do this. Never again.

I know someone who left the plastic on oil filter when he installed it.

Well I guess common sense isn't so common and you just can't fix stupid.

I once sold guy a battery (over the counter). He installed it in the parking lot and then came in complaining that it was defective. I went out to look at it and found he had neglected to remove the black plastic protective cover over the ground terminal before reattaching the ground wire. Duh...

Everyone always jumps to the conclusion that things are defective. I can't stand it. It's 2015, quality control on most things is very good. It's very rare things are DOA anymore. While not impossible, I very rarely come across items that are DOA. It's usually user error and people that have no ******* clue what they are doing.
