Re: [Spridgets] Negative ground  coilIt is possible that the old coils were always for negative ground, and they had to be switched for positive ground.  I can't find anything that says how the old BE ones were designed.

My BE wiring diagram shows CB going to the Distributor.  Those were Positive ground cars.  My 1275 wiring diagram shows "-" going to the distributor.  Those were negative ground cars.  Haynes says CB is "-" and positive ground cars have to be reversed, with SW going to the distributor.  Either CB was always negative for all cars, or somebody besides me is wrong, which is not normally the case.

  SW=switch, and CB=points, but you still have to know whether that's for positive or negative ground. Are there no +/- signs on the coil?

Doesn't matter very much. Maybe a very slight difference in running. It 
certainly won't prevent starting.
