  There is definate advice that it is best for the spark to jump
a certain way over the arc in the spark plug.

  However, when converting from positive to negative or vice-versa,
generally you reverse the coil connections to keep the polarity
the same. This would imply that the spark continues to jump
the ap the same way.
