It actually produces a better spark to have proper polarity. It will function,
albeit less strongly, reverse wired.

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.
