Hey nice, thanks for sharing. The ever so versatile 555 in action.

So the coil goes where R6 is, correct?

Interesting how the far spark plug's spark was in exactly the same spot the whole time, while the near one was jumping all over the place. Wonder why?

i think that is because the spark plug is old and have a lot of carbon on it.
