Re: 1940 356 Ignition coil

Hi Howard, I have studied the existing coil this morning but have not removed it yet. It has a bracket that shares a stud with the air cleaner mount. I do notice on the end where there is an existing terminal for the wire from the distributor, it does not say positive or negative like the new coils. Would the wire from the distributor go on the positive or negative of the new one? I am thinking positive as the one in the back goes to the ignition which I think breaks a ground so the one I move from the back of the old one would go on the negative ground. Is this correct? Mine does have the metal tabs to bend back. Then again since it is positive ground I may have all that backward? Thanks for the help. TOmmy
