Run your data on JAVATC and you will get nearly the exact tuning tap 
point --- might vary at most 1/8th turn.

Never run your coil with a toroid or some type of topload.  Without 
equalized electrostatic field shaping down the secondary the coil usually 
tries to run at multiple frequencies, ie, some of the harmonics are not 
surpressed enough, and your coil will usually quickly be destroyed.

If your safety gap is firing at 140 volts, something is wrong with your 
tuning.  JAVATC will solve it for you.
