Am not quite following unless my poor choice of words confused the issue. You always want the spark to jump from the plug wire or center electrode to the shell which would be the case with proper polarity is what I was trying to say.
Another old test was to take a pencil (If you do, use one with heavy wood and maybe even a glove on) and place it between the wire and plug or wire and ground. Here is an illustration from a site showing the correct polarity.
