I would like to suggest that you not use your "Little mechanic" as a ground, again.

I learned the same thing, the same way.  Only difference was that I was leaning against the front fender, and apparently my little mechanic was the path of least resistence / ground.    OUCH!!
I remember the day quite clearly, and will NEVER touch a plug wire or distributor while leaning against the car!!

I learned of arching wires the hard way.  16 yrs old ( now 41), 62 Catalina (still have it) adjusting timing (during the day) loosen distributor and grabbed the top to adjust    ahhh - learned to respect it and changed the wires.

Here's a tip. Be sure to open your hood in the dark every once in a while. It's a great way to see if any of your ignition wires are arcing.
