Ignition: coil connection

[olcardude]

I'm rewiring a 1951 Champion with the original 6 volt positive ground system and I need to know if the lead from the distributor should attach to the + or the - post on the coil Thanks for your help!

The distributor wire would go to the + coil terminal, since the battery is + ground.

Thanks TWChamp. Makes sense!

Here is an excellent explanation of how to check coil polarity, and why it's important. This is the best short read on the topic I've ever seen.
