The coils operate at 12 Volts, however I would guess the output to be around 35,000 volts.

Actually, the secondary output voltage will vary depending on engine speed and load. On my 90 GXL, I measured the voltages at idle with a peak KV tester and and got reading ranging from 12-18 KV. These readings were taken with relatively new spark plugs and wires. The condition of the plugs and wires will affect yhe output voltage.
