Re: Ignition Coil
A coil runs on 12V. Hook a power wire to the + side of the coil. Ground the threads of the plug back to the battery. Hook up a switch that will alternate between grounding and ungrounding the coil. You have to energize the coil (12V) then ground it to get it to spark. Keeping it grounded will not result in a continuous spark. You get one spark each time you ground it. The faster you can ground and unground the coil the faster you will get sparks. Manually sparking it would probably work best with some sort of switch that is like a distributor or more easily, something like the spinner from the game of life.
