I've got one of these nowadays but for years I used an old spark plug that I modified by cutting off the electrode tang and replacing it with a piece of coat hanger I brazed to the plug so I could have at least a 1/2" gap for the spark to jump.

I'll definitely look into it.

The weather has been horrible here. 40s and 50s with rain almost every weekend, so the car has just been sitting. Looks like the weather should break soon though, so hopefully it'll be out and about.

The car was chosen to be in a invite only class at a large car show this June. It would be nice to actually drive the thing before taking it to the show lol
