Ignition Coil +/- Sign In

All,

I have a very stupid quesiton. I have a 65 Falcon and I'm confused the +/- leads on the ignotion coil. Does the negitve lead of the coil go to the cap or does that postive go to the distrubutor cap? Please dont laugh at the rookie : )

***********

Tried to find a "generic" pic of wiring. Neg from coil goes to distributor. In graphic above ignore "choke, backup lights, idle cut off. "N" means NEGATIVE shown on the coil.

Hope that helps. I'll try harder if your still stuck with this,

T

To add:

Coil may say "dist" on the coil which means NEGATIVE........... that's also where you would put a dwell tach or read RMPs....
