coil pack arcing to firewall

I've been chasing a miss in my girlfriend's Disco for weeks (only a couple hours a week to work on it, so really more like 3 days) and finally figured out there was a pin hole in one of the boots and cylinder 6 was jumping to the firewall.
I'd say try some new plug wires and see if that helps. I replaced the wire and she's running like a top. Throw in new coils at the same time if yours are old.
Edit: scratch the new coils I reckon

arcing
Well, I believe it was the number five cylinder wire boot that was bad. Used one of my wires from when I changed them out. Was trying to do it without taking manifold off. Since the number 5 is on top, only had to remove one other boot to get it. Problem was getting them in place with that space. I had already removed secondary air pipe which I am going to change out for vacuum hose. I still couldn't get my hands positioned well enough to get them back on. So in comes my 12 year old to save the day. He laid across the engine and got them on enough that I could push them on. I don't see any arcing now. At some point will change that wire out for a new one but for now, I'm calling it good.
Thanks guys,
