Thanks fo the info.  I wrapped about 60 turns onto the primary, and it all 
works well.  With 7 shunts removed from each "pack" i draw about 8A.  I drew 
about 4.5A with all of the shunts in place.  So now i just have to get my 
SRSG to work(wish me luck!).  BTW, the wire that i used was from an ignition 
coil, and was much smaller than the primary coil wire, but i thought it 
would be ok, and so far so good.  My arcs from the trans are now about 5/8" 
long, much better!
