Dave,
     I too started my TC hobby with a spark-coil powered TC, and was similarly
disappointed. A model-T spark coil simply puts out far too little power to
be useful in this application (my spark coil makes 1" sparks would only
generate 1" streamers from my TC) no amount of tuning your TC components can
overcome this fact. Get an NST to power your TC.
