Subject: indication of good tuning

Hi everyone, this is Matthew Boddicker.

Around five months ago read that a coil is properly tuned when it has the 
maximum spark length coming out of the top load.

I also heard a logical argument saying, "Having sparks coming out of the top 
load is wasted energy, showing that the coil isn't properly tuned due to its 
inefficiency." Something to that effect anyway.

So what is the best indication of a properly tuned coil? Minimal spark 
length or maximum spark length?

Thanks!
