Well, I have my primary cap and spark gap mounted as close to the
primary as I can get them (less than two feet of connecting pipe).
However, they are to the side, not below. I think that if the
capacitor is small relative to the primary coil, what you propose
should be OK. I would expect the capacitor to have more effect on
the secondary than the primary. Also, is there a possibility of
flashovers through the top plate?
