I cant tell you what you want, but i see a problem with what you want to do. 
  With my experience with Ignition Coils, you need at least 1uf of capacitor 
to power it.  I use 24uF actually on some older coil that i dont know the 
make of.  Why do you need to know the output voltage??  Its usually about 
25kv, and you can usually pull a 1.25" arc with no load, from a regular 
"can" type coil.
