Yes it does,the coils secondary develops 40k v prior to discharge..the bosch blue coil I use puts out 35v after dwell..timing does not affect coil output,nor does spark plug gap or rotor gap,the coils is charged and discharged at rated capacity for its effective life,till the windings start breaking down and the output voltage drops,this condition can be diagnosed by how hot the coil gets,old rule of thumb,if the coil is too hot to touch its done.
