Ok, then the white wire (ignition switch +) should go to the + coil 
connection.

They say this but since the pump is not grounded to the body it is either.

Black wire goes to ground in your case. Black = NEG. Negative ground.

Yes the red will be your POWER or + connection and should be connected to the 
switched ignition white wire coming off the harness and connected to the + 
side of the coil.

SInce your car is a - ground, the white or positive wire should go to the + 
side of the coil.

This is correct. Neg terminal to the distributor.

On both my 3 and 4 (both + ground), the red wire was converted to a eye 
connector and is grounded to the body.

The black wire goes to the white (negative) wire coming off the harness. 

Now since I have both + ground cars and Lucas Super coils, which are clearly 
marked + and - I assume if you have a - ground car then your ground should be 
connected to the - coil terminal. 

Now this could be wrong and you should ask a lister who has converted to - 
ground in a 3 and uses a coil that is marked + and -.
