Hi all,

I was wondering what the current + voltage on an ignition coil is. I know
that they are relative to the arc length, but I want to know the voltage on
open circuit, and the current on short. I am using a 4.2uF cap, and it draws
about 2A from the mains. Also, by how much can I overrate my dimmer?

Thanks,
Jason
