Thanks for the help, I just need to find a local source for this, what looks 
like, 18awg wire.  Is there any chance that this stuff is aluminum??  The 
inside of the wire looks silver all the way through, and the wire is very 
soft.  The enamel on the outside makes it look like its copper.  Also, do i 
have to use magnet wire?? or can it be something else?  Also, must i have 
the same size of wire?  Because, i could just take the primary wire off of 
an ignition coil, but it looks to be a bit smaller.  Any help is needed.

Steve Ward.
