That questions not as easy as some may think.

Sure, an external DC voltage appled right to the coils high input (NOT to distributor) terminal is the same as HOT WIRING thereby by passing any potential switch problems orrrrrrrr any battery voltage drop problems and thus, would provide a good hot spark.......

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I'm just reluctant to advise anyone to apply raw battery charger power direct to the coil AS ITS VOLTAGE CAN BE HIGHER THEN THE BATTERY AND ITS DIRTY SPIKEY AND PULSATING, unlike what it is once filtered n buffered by a big honkin and stabilizing battery.

HOWEVER if you apply it ONLY WHILE the ingition is turned on, its then coupled to the battery via the Ign switch, which provides more protection (thats sorta like just having it on the battery then) then if you hang it on the coil to hot wire it when the Ign is off. I.E. if you put the charger on the coil as long as the ign switch is ON thats not so bad I JUST DONT LIKE TO HOT WIRE THE COIL DIRECT USING A DIRTY RAW POWER HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGER unless the ign is on, while I realize thats basically same as hooking charger to battery.

BOTTOM LINE: Sure it will likely work and not hurt anything, I (although I have prob done plenty things like that before lol) on the record here am NOT gonan tell you to do it unless the IGN is on. Of course if its not the engine would die if you removed the charger from the coil.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
