While putting in new plugs got a electrical spark/discharge.
Was down to the last plug #5 and the wratchet touched the metal shroud covering the electrical fan. Wratchet was on plug and I got sparks flying. Never ever have I had anything happen to me like this before when changing plugs. Changed dozen of sets in my life. I'm crossing my fingers it was just a discharge to ground. I'm fumin mad right now....... 
Lesson learned, disconnect battery when changing plugs.
