John,
I have tried that. The ignition points will not stand up under the high 
voltage and 
current of Tesla operation. It's fun to try, just use a variac and start out 
at a very low setting
so you can watch the points melt. ;-))

I drive the cam with a low voltage DC motor so I can vary the speed. You can 
make a great spark coil or a motor-driven switch.

Happy day,
