The spark coil is typically about a 50 or 100 to 1 transformer. When used in an old automobile, the points close, and a current builds up in the leakage inductance of the coil. This typically generates some voltage on the secondary, but not enough to cause a spark. Then when the points open the field collapses with a time constant set by the leakage inductance, and the small capacitor that is across the points. The result is that there is a voltage spike on the primary of the coil or about 1,000 volts, which show up at the secondary as a 50,000 to 100,000 volts. If you ever put a CD ignition on an old car you would know that they use a circuit very much like the one for the pulser, a high voltage controlled by an scr.
