it's easier for the voltage to jump the gap outside in the normal air
pressure, but under 100+ psi, it's very difficult for the plug to jump the
gap. I've seen when I tested airplane engine ignitors inside a pressure bomb.
You can 'voltage' testers that can tell you how much voltage is at the
wires. The tool is just an adjustable screw. The voltage jumps from the tip
of the screw to a fixed base which is connected to grnd. The gap for a full
30k volts is more than a 1.5" gap. So to really test it, the gap should be
much wider than 1" That also should tell you dangerous testing the wires
can be if you don't have something grounded to it. You don't wanna become
the ground.
