Thanx George and Al. I didnt know that. I guess the auto-transformer used
in
spark-plug coils, could handle a bit of boost. I could understand an
inductor in series with the spark-leads>resists change of current, then
when
the coil stops, the inductor's collapsing field may give more HT,..but a
button with straight thru conduction?
