Need Some Help And Have ??'s On My Flame Throwers!!!!!

Hey out there,
I need some help about flame throwers on my 1966 chevy truck. I want to use the old school way with the manual choke, but what type of coils do i use to get a consistent spark? Basically where i can flip a switch and get continuance spark without having to flip the switch back and forth like crazy. I got some 12 volt coils now and the spark is really weak and to get a decent spark i have to flip the switch back and forth like crazy. Do i use a higher end coil like msd or flame thrower or someone told me model t ford coils?? The other thing is what gauge wire is good idea to use to run to the coils to the switch to the battery?? And am i wiring it right?? Cause right now i am using 16 gauge wire with two separate wires to each coil to the toggle switch and got one wire to a fuse to the battery. Any help would be great i also live in illinois and if there is anyone in the chicagoland area that i could call or talk to about this that would really help me out. Because i really want to have them on my truck this summer.
Thanks a lot for anyone's help
