A,

A typical TC does not use the spark gap to generate frequencies to
which the secondary is tuned.  Rather the primary tank is tuned to
the secondary frequency and the spark gap acts only as a switch.

You will get no energy storage so the coil will not be "efficient" , in
other words you'll need to use a lot of power to get a certain spark
length.
