I would have said the same thing because I'm really a disbeliever when it comes to legends.

So imagine my dismay when, after spinning the engine in my '93 Suburban without the distributor cap on, it didn't start when I put it back together. No spark. Ignition system was my favorite Accel 300+. I found a burnt fuse in the power lead. Replaced the fuse and started right up. So there could be something to the warning. It should be easy enough to disconnect the big red wire from the battery before spinning it, right?
