Angry Electric Shock

I checked and reset the ignition on my Cobra last weekend using a newly acquired timing light.
I checked it first to see if it needed adjusting and found it to be slightly advanced, so I stopped the engine and loosened the distributor clamp bolt and restarted it again. However, whenever I tried to move the distributor, I got a huge electric shock from it.
I'm sure this shouldn't happen, what's wrong?
I have and MSD 6AL and an MSD Pro Billet distributor. Everything is clean and dry and in good condition and the distributor cap is brand new.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul
