Well, no. Since you can't change the connections inside the coil, the polarity
of the primary side is what determines the spark
polarity.
But, spark polarity makes only a tiny difference, not normally enough to
notice. Many people have gotten it backwards, and the
engine still runs "fine". There are even engines that deliberately fire every
other plug "backwards". So, in that sense, it
doesn't matter.
