Some of that article is genuinely hilarious.
“The output of each ignition coil … is fed through identical diode strings
each composed of 45 series-connected 1 amp 1000-PIV diodes”
Apparently this author never knew out the microwave transformer diodes!

The LU800 coil referenced in the PopElectronics article is still
available. Around $15 depending on the source.
I have no idea what the electrical properties are, but I imagine it's a
fairly vanilla 12V coil.
