The above statements are not correct, Arthur Dalton is correct. Its all to do with relative potential, the block would have to be connected to the negative terminal of the coil for it to be "earthed". The block is not earthed relative to the coil as it is in other ignition systems.
It cannot act as an electron sink, thats making it a capacitor!!
