Thats what I have done. Rested it near strut tower and turned it over, so didn't get zapped. Did this for each plug wire. Not sure it's the proper method but worked.

I will be checking the voltage when my new multimeter arrives.

Fuel looked clean when I changed the filter, no rust or crap came out.

Thats a good sign

Not looked at the rev counter, but will check when I crank it next. Not looked at the disi cap or rotar arm but will take a look as a precaution.
Should move slightly when cranking. Disi and rotor, could have oil contamination from Distributor oil seals perished. Also not the most accessible to change, so often left for years.
