Especially about the spark plug bit. It works quite well. Have seen it in person at some car shows.

Definitely, an old Hot Rod trick. Old Rods, with multi carbs, would run rich enough to light the exhaust with a spark plug was fired by a old Ford vibrating coil box. The other thing you could do with the coil box was to attach the high voltage lead to the body so that anybody touching the car got shocked.
