would  carbon rods be sufficient for a spark gap

Hi Jimbo?

Carbon rods will work for a while, but have several nasty characteristics:
They heat quickly and don't dissipate it well.
They tend to oxidize too rapidly.
In an enclosed area, they tend to produce copious amounts of carbon 
monoxide. :^((
