I just bought a stock ignition coil from propermg for 19.95 although I could have bought the Lucas sports coil at 40,000 volts for a few dollars more. ProperMG is having a sale right now! So, what vo

A higher voltage coil allows you to open the plug gaps a little so the voltage builds more before it jumps the gap and you get a bigger spark. Unfortunately this higher voltage can cause problems (i.

Well, the formula is correct, but the coil is not working with out other connections and one needs to take into account the properties of the rest of the circuit. Also, there is a timing issue. THe a
