Which side of the coil does it go on....negative or positive?

Thanks , Chas:w
 
Do you mean the one that is in the dist w/points? That one is on the neg side. It's used to eliminate arcing accross the points while openning.
 
Thanks pal....

yes its a points distributor , i have a conversion kit to electronic in it...just putting it all back together and i got to the thing, and for the life of me, couldnt remember which side.

Thanks again ,Chas:beer

If you're talking about the radio noise suppression capacitor at the coil, its lead goes to the (+) coil terminal.
