Hi Steve,
Whether or not you have C1, if an ignition coil is used for example, it is definitely charged with pulsed spikes.
I have a 5kv "ion pump supply" and it pulses as well.
My personal preference is an ignition coil since Gray seemed to be big on them.
So I think the input to the circuit should be HV DC spikes.
