no, they should not touch. i repaired mine. my wire went bad in the same spot. I ended up cutting the whole wire an inch (could have gone a little close, but leave enough wire to strip and attach a female and male spade connector to each) away from the clip. then i took a small screw driver and popped open the white cover on the clip. i cleaned out the corrosion inside the clip and stripped the end of the wire and attached a male spade connector to one and a female to the other. then i put the little white cap back on and plugged it in to the dizzy. Then i just stripped and separated the end of the wire going to the ignition module and put a male connector on the correct wire and a female on the other wire just to make sure i cannot get them switched and plugged them in. works great now, but in hind site, i think solder and shrink tube would have been much easier and considerably more esthetically pleasing.
