Re: Coil wiring question

As long as it starts and run with the wiring as is I would not change anything if the coil polarity is correct. If not then swapping the wires to the proper terminals for a positive ground should not cause any problems as long as both are swapped over and if more than one wire on the same terminal, those stay together.

The distributor looks to have been installed a tooth or two off causing the rotor to be in a different spot than Packard suggests. Not a big deal as long as you are aware of it although it might be good to make sure the "new" #1 terminal is marked or noted in case someone else works on the car and tries to use original instructions or diagrams.
