The + side of coil to the points (ground). | | | | | Joined: May 2011 Posts: 10 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2011 Posts: 10 | A lot of the coils in those days had double windings and will work either way. I had an uncle who worked in the shops from the thirties into the early fifties, I had my doubts but with him at my elbow I reversed the leads (trying to resolve a starting problem). It did not help the starting issue which turned out to be a loose connection on the ammeter terminals, but the coil worked the same both ways. | | |
