Default Ignition Module Spark Generation
I need an explanation how the ignition module generates the voltage that results in the spark. We all know it starts off with the ignition battery voltage and gets up to 20Kv or more. Dan.

Thanks for all the inputs. They were very interesting. I never gave it much thought but I'm going to spend some time absorbing it all. Dan.
