So then are there + ground and - ground coils I wonder? Could a larger capacitance condenser absorb the additional back EMF and compensate?
I also dabble in antique tractors and although I'm a bit of a purist and tend to oppose 12v conversions and electronic ignitions I have done them if a customer insists. Post-conversion, spark is OK but on the front mount model N Fords in particular it's just not quite perfect. I was blaming the ballast resistors but perhaps polarity reversal is partly to blame.
