A variation of the grounded plug version is to get hold of an old spring-loaded clamp end from an old set of battery jumper cables. Pry open one of the clamps handles and use a small stainless clamp to hold the plug into that handle area (clamp around the threads of the plug). The plug terminal should point out while the plug gap is in by the handle. When you want to check spark, just clamp the unit onto a good ground and hook the plug up to whatever wire you are checking. If everything is positioned properly, you'ss see the spark nice and clear jumping the plug gap. I've always used a plug with a removeable top cap in case you end up with a plug wire (European type) that slip onto the threaded plug end.
