On the secondary side, it'd probably have to be inductive, but I saw
an article in Popular Electronics long ago, (This was back in the
seventies.) that hooked up to the primary side. It had a voltage
divider made of a few resistors, followed by a zener to clip the
kickback peak and possibly a capacitor or two. To make it look like
what you see on a car scope, you had to invert the image.
