About 10K voltage will bridge a gap wherever it exists in the secondary system, a gap in the rotor, a conductor open circuit in a spark plug wire, or the spark plug gap. For the long term, during low load driving, it isn't healthy for the ignition coil to produce excessive firing voltage. It can, over time, break down the insulation properties of the conductors along the secondary voltage circuit.
Does the ignition coil get hot to the touch after a drive?
In addition, a high voltage spark gap will tend to increase over time. Could eventually cause a misfire under load, equivalent to an excessively large spark plug gap.
