Randall, are I you sure this is necessary?  I did not do this on  
mine; I  only re-polarized the generator and swapped the ammeter  
leads and she has been running beautifully. Electronically, I don't  
see how it makes any difference. Is there something I am missing or  
that could ultimately be harmful?
  Although not related to the Lucas coil's polarity, the only thing I  
wondered about was if the capacitor (condenser) across the points was  
polarized, but I didn't see any evidence of that.

Hans
