I have a Bosch Coil on a 58 TR3A with positive ground. It has + and - markings, which side should be wired to the distributor and which side to vehicle power and if I switch the car to negative ground, should the connections be reversed?
 
Andrew, the car was hooked up for neg. ground, don't know if that is part of my problem I'm having but will check it out shortly. Thanks, Charlie
 
The car will still run with the coil connected backwards. Might not run quite as well, but usually you can only tell the difference in how easily it starts or how long you need to keep the choke out to keep it running smooth.
