Coil Wiring

Stupid question alert!
So, my car had no ignition wiring upon purchase. I have worked on 12V neg ground, but 6V pos ground is new to me.

So, primary circuit: For the coil a wire runs from ignition to it. A wire runs from the coil to the distributor. That much I know. (I have a standard 6V coil, not the capped style one that was on the car originally.) Which post do I attach the ignition wire to? The Negative post? Then the positive post has the wire from it to the distributor?
I want to get it right as if it is backwards it can burn out the condenser before you know it is wrong.
Thanks for reading and hope you can help.
