standard coil ..how much volts does it output?

greetings!
anyone knows the voltage of a standard coil on a 4efte?

Dont know how much it puts out, but i do know its enough to put me on my arse..

on my 1977 honda cb200 with points and a condensor its 900ish! (2 cylinders) so for a 4e engine im gonna be guessing around 1200-1500ish! but not as much current as people think! the rule to remember is " volts jolt , current kills" from my boss ( im a spark ) haha

1500v? thats very low, anything between 40-70000v.

... for a 4efte coil?
40-70000 volts??
u sure about that?

i was researching coils for v6 and v8 coils and they're outputting 40000+ volts standard

Not sure for a 4efte, but thats the average voltage range a coil outputs from its secondary windings. If the engine runs coilpacks, you can run less voltage because the coil has a longer dwell time.

o ok! well reason i was asking is i wanted to put in a more powerful coil (one that powers v6 & v8 engines) hence the query... so im wondereing if it wud be a good mod or not!!

It's not really needed, unless your blowing out the spark from running too much boost. The ignition system just needs to be freshened up, new rotor arm, leads, plugs.
