The high side of a 12 volt coil will produce between 20,000 and 40,000 volt depending on the windings in the coil. I belive most common tractor coils run near 20,000 volts. Your battery voltage enters on one post of the coil. When the points are closed (connecting to ground) the current flows through the low side of the coil to ground. This produces a magnetic field inside the coil. When the points open it disconnects this circuit. At this point the magnetic field begins to collapse. The battery voltage is still pushing (voltage is pressure) on both the high and low side. The collapsing magnetic field allows a current flow out the high side of the coil. Due to the ratio of windings the collasping magnetic field pushs enough out to jump the gap at the spark plug.

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
