Hi again,

Yes! It works! All that needed to be done was we needed to elevate the 
secondary just half an inch to get rid of those racing sparks. Best 
performance is so far about 26", but I think we can get it to work much 
better in a while. We were running it for a while until we saw an 
arc  between two leads of the mmc. I don't know if this was arcing the 
entire time we were running it, so we took it in for the night. We will 
probably clip some excess solder off of the leads, and probably will wrap 
some electrical tape around the leads to better insulate it. Thanks for the 
help with the racing sparks. Ill get the pictures developed that we took of 
the coil and get them posted as soon as possible.
