Is the positive side of the ignition coil on my 77 on the right or left of the bike? Wires got tangled in the spokes when I was pushing it around and I just can't remember.

I appreciate the help.

Thanks for that, Biker. Hoping to ride it little bit today. It's been down for over a year. Mr. Snoot just about has it done -- now if I could just find my boots!

Good luck on getting it going today. It is a nice day for a ride.

I can't say for sure about this specific application but in general a coil will produce a much hotter spark when wired correctly ie when the negative side field collapses when the points open (or the transistor does) A lab scope can show it but most of us don't have access to one. Ex-ASE L1.

Rats, Matt. That sounds correct -- but which side?
