Jim:
Think you need to look into the SHUNT CAPACITANCE of those
transorbs before you go much further. Whatever divider you set
up needs to be frequency compensated or the results won't be
meaningful. By the way, if you are looking at the primary you
don't need anywhere near that high a resistance, which might make
the job a lot easier. In any event, if you make such a setup you
need to make sure that what you measure is just due to current
flowing in the voltage divider, and not effects of the spark
discharge.
