flamethrower coil on positive ground B

one step left in the re-install of the engine tranny on the B, but I neglected to put labels on the wires coming from the distributor to the coil. So where should the black/white coming off the dizzy connect to, the neg or positive terminal on the coil? The coil is the correct one for a posi-ground vehicle.
Thanks, Mike
 
White/black is for grounding the coil (thru th' points) to trigger it, so it needs to go to the "negative" on the coil... or to the "SW" marked one on/for a posi-ground one.
 
And vice-versa. Neg ground, neg terminal to points.
