If you just say ouch then it is like 5000 volts.

If you go ouch then say SOB then your close to 10000 volts.

If you say GD, SOB then you are near 15000 volts.

If you say MF GD SOB then your around 30000 volts.

If your repeat 30000 volts several time then you are around 50,000 volts.

At least that is my experience.

Thats a good one and I would say you are right on !!! I got shocked once by my 40.000 volt Flame thrower coil . I have been VERY carefull not to let it happen again . All of the vender replacement coils that I have tested with my jump spark coil tester have failed to jump a 10.000 volt gap . I read somewhere that the original slant pole coils put out around 20.000 volts .
