<VV> Secondary voltage at coils.(Was Bad Corvair)

This topic lead me to coils secondary voltage using Pertronix.I've found that, 
with Pertronix II and it's matching Flame Thrower coil can't get more than 8 KV 
at idle but, it increases at high rpm, to more than 20 KV.With Pertronix I and 
std. coil, get about 10 KV at idle and about 15 KV at more than 2,000 rpm. 
Didn't checked with points.On simple words, Pertronix I makes passing exhaust 
emissions tests (less HC at idle) better than with Pertronix II but, I'm still 
concerned, on both cases, about 
the different voltages between idle and high rpm as, I supposed that on this 
electronic devices the coil output voltage shouldn't be affected by speed 
(excepting 0 rpm). 

================================================================


  1  Coil voltage increases as   resistance to jumping the gap increases [  higher rpm =  higher pressures]


2  At idle... I can only surmise it is the Dwell time..
