Does the condenser wire on the distributor go to the + or - side of the coil?

I see folks still are not understanding the points/condenser ignition system. Please read the information at : Kettering ignition system. This will explain it very well.
The condenser provides two functions, pretty much as toolguy posted. I dislike seeing new folks being lead astray by those who post inaccurate information, probably because they were lead astray earlier and believed it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Tom |
