Intro - and question

	It would take a good deal of testing to find out what the waveform would look
	like under different conditions. Seems technically feasable, though.

and i agree that your average joe with a soldering iron wouldn't learn
much, but your average joe with a soldering iron -and- a scope...
a pc-controlled dyno and an engine with moderately high compression
and pc-programmed dfi would complete my setup.  this would let you
easily and reproducibly vary speed/load, fuel/air, ign timing, and
with 2 fuel tanks, octane.  if there's anything to be seen in the
post-ignition ionization, this would give a pretty good chance of
seeing it.

i think i'd also want a spectrum analyzer.  well, these days, they come
on pc cards too...
