[Roadsters] distributor/coil question

[Pat Horne]

Power should go to the + side of the coil, with the - side going to the 
points.  I never noticed the error in the diagram!

You will get a spark either way, but it is not a reliable spark when 
connected backwards, especially under combustion chamber pressure. The 
spark will jump the wrong direction.

Peace,
Pat
