Since I'm new to this board, I've been going through the old posts.
Just reposting a link down here so it's easier to see.

Few questions on this. First, seeing both coaxial wire and insulated wire being used in this discussion, these are not the same are they? What kind of wire is best to use, plain insulated or coax with the outer covering removed?
Trying to understand the circuit diagram, the spark plug and ignition coil are bringing the higher voltages stored in the wire down to 12 volts, why wouldn't a 12v capicitor work instead?
What is the purpose of the capacitor that is in parallel? Is it for safety in case the the spark plug & coil blow?
Last question, if multiple smaller lengths of wire are used instead of one really long wire (3x200 instead of 1x600 for example) would this be equivalent? Asking because its easier to find smaller lengths of wire, plus less charge on each one would keep voltages a bit safer.
