Default Coil

Red wire (passenger side) to +
Black wire (Driver's side) to -

Correct?

What year?
The coil polarity changed sides in late 1929. See the SERVICE BULLETINS.

It's possible to use a VOM (Voltage Ohm Meter) on a high scale to determine polarity of the coil. If you have a x1000 on an analog meter, you can use it. The method is described in the Les Andrews Volume 1 book.

It's a replacement from Mikes. I have a late 29 (with a 30 motor). + red - black worked fine. I thought that's how it came off but couldn't remember.
Changing the points and condenser didn't hurt either.

TY fellas
