I've been taking note of the many suggestions, have obtained some hardware, and look forward to when I can spend a couple of days trying out various options. I have a simple CRO to help me see what's going on. Thanks all...

However, I'm wondering if I could use the low tension wire at the ignition coil terminal? I...
