Could be your leads are stuffed
get a piece of electrical wire and touch one end onto the engine block or another earth and wave the other end near the leads about 5mm away, you will see it arc-ing to the wire and know what is stuffed.

Hmmm.... electricity leaking out !!! Your spark is tracking on the outside of the HT lead and jumping to earth somewhere. Try taking a look under the bonnet when its dark... you should be able to see a blue spark !!! Very cool effect :) Time to replace all your HT leads I reckon.
