Your spark is too weak. Try 250volt 220uf cap with 3 similar microwave diodes in parallel off the coil to HV lead. It may work on your setup, I guess it depends on the inverter. Your spark should sound like a shotgun going off and look like a big white flash about 12inches diameter. This spark will move a piston by itself without water. Add water and run. Easy way is to plug straight into 240 volt mains power but use fuses to protect the diodes. Lot of power for points/relay to cope with.
However, if you are using gaseous H-O-H (Brown's gas), you will need to adjust the timing to BDC (bottom dead center) or a few degrees past BDC (the upward stroke). This is because H-O-H "implodes" when ignited and creates a vacuum and upward pull on the cylinder.
Keep up the good work, and God bless your efforts.
I don't know if you tried this yet, but if you haven't ... try adjusting the timing to TDC (top dead center) or a few degrees past TDC, if you are injecting liquid H2O. In other words ... fire your spark on the down stroke. For in contrast to gasoline which burns, H2O explodes, and therefore its expansion rate can be considered almost instantaneous. Firing before TDC with liquid H2O will stall the engine.
For a water source as fuel, have you tried using a pond fogger water mister and allow it to be drawn in from the air intake? How about water vapor or steam from a heated coffee pot?
if you advance the timing that should help water vapors only fire 90 degrees out of phase top dead center so you would need to advance the timing all then work from there try some heated or super heated water vapor first or you will crack the cylinder heads or blow a gasket or worse because water doe snot compress
I would like to make an observation on questions relating to the increase of spark/plasma that is achieved when the plug is under pressure. My feelings on this are that compression seems to act like a capacitor on spark plugs what we are actually seeing here is a shorter duration spark that is occurring at a slightly later time hence its capacity to build to a greater volume before it has the power to jump the gap.
Platinum plugs may be worth a try , it reported to be good a splitting water if thats the effect you are after ? , if its the shock wave effect it would be volume of water
I remember reading that you have to increase the jet size in the carburetor to increase the volume of water. Did you do this? Also, An idea I have had, that would be easy, is to feed the output from an ultrasonic humidifier into the air intake. These things put out an incredibly fine mist that resembles fog. It should prove way more combustible than the spray from the venturi in the carburetor. (or that squirt bottle) LOL. Great Work Guys!
Where did you get the firestorm spark plugs made? I would love to have a set made or even make them myself if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Great work guys!
will it run on gas with that plasma spark ? Maybe get it to run on gas and mark the distributor and then retard the timing a little at a time in small increments and try it after each position change and see if it will fire on water.

FACT: Hydrogen will work as a fuel for a vehicle.
BUT not from electrolysis on the vehicle. Here is why.
EXAMPLE: Lets say you are producing 1 liter of HHO
per minute. That is Almost enough to fire 4 cylinders one
time. A V8 engine running at 2000 RPM fires 4,000 cylinders
per minute. That's 4/4000 or 1/1000 of the fuel needed to run
the engine per min. That is 1 part hydrogen to 999 parts gasoline.

Now we have to subtract the HP the alternator pulled from the
engine to generate the current needed to make the Hydrogen.
Lets just say it takes about 6 amps to make 1 liter per minute.
or 12 amps to make 2 liters per minute. Scale it up to what ever
you want. But.....
FACT: It will always take more power to make the hydrogen then
the hydrogen will give back, without Exception.

another thing timing is important or the engine will never run or even turn over
