Quick coil question?

IE:72 sbc, points distributer...

Does the dizzy wire connect to the positive or negitave side of the coil?

I'm having a brain fart and would like to test fire the new engine this evening.

Thanks all!

Re: Quick coil question?

Think of it this way, the points "ground" the coil allowing it to charge, the ignition supplys the juice to the coil, so dizzy wire is - and ignition wire from the switch is +. Hope that helps.
