WOW!  An 80 million volt coil!  Now THAT will generate a decent spark won't
it?  What does one set the plug gap to for this?  And when you're not
driving the car you can use the voltage from the coil to "smash atoms".  :-)

The car is a '69 GT6 +  equipped with a factory tubular header (replicas now
sold) and an Accel 80,000,000 volt coil (spares from a friend's racing car).
Otherwise, the motor is of unknown origin as I pulled it from a '70 parts
car that was recycling its self quite rapidly.
