Pos. to distributor. If hooked up wrong it might not run as well but it will run and not ruin anything.Frank van Doorn

spark output is reduced a bit with coil polarity reversed. Sparks have a harder time leaping from the hot ground electrode, or maybe it's the other way around.
The old Briggs and Stratton manuals used to have a picture of a test for correct polarity by positioning a lead pencil in the spark gap to cause a shower of sparkles to chase after the leaping electrons.
