Russ,
Back when (2 years ago March 31st) worked for IBM I had access
to the library at the main IBM San Jose manufacturing site and the
library of IBM's Santa Teresa Lab where I worked for the last 25 years.
There were over 100 engineering magazines available and many
white papers,  conference reports etc. I have purchased  books and
SAE technical papers, I recommend the one on the Goldenrod.
My favorite monthly (I had a subscription a work) was Design News. I
frequently ran across little jewels of information (to me anyway) in
articles/papers that at first glance couldn't have anything to do with
cars. I ran across an article titled 'Flat Drive Belt Systems Analysis'
or something like that in Design News many years ago. The authors
were comparing different high speed non metallic drive systems and
chose to use a car alternator for the load in their test setup.
A major source of my information was Smokey in Circle Track.
That's the long answer to your question Russ.
The short answer:
 From stuff I've read over the last  --  too many years and
some basic facts  i.e.; 746 watts = 1 HP and  volts times current = watts

Engine oil flow..  -- Good luck..

I think it would be much simpler to buy a spark box that is designed to work
with the voltage you have  than add a battery, battery hold down, cables
and clamps not to mention the extra weight.
