The ignition coil is a bad idea for two reasons.  First, the coil will
provide up to 25 kV peaks which in a resonant circuit will damage your cap
with a 40 kV DC rating.  Second, the ignition coil does not provide anywhere
near the necessary current to rapidly recharge the cap to produce multiple
pulses in a well designed coil system.  Stick with the NST -- even at lower
voltage it will work much better due to higher current output.
