Ignition Coil wiring...
Stupid easy question I know, but what color wire goes on the positive and negative side of the coil? I ASSume the the green tach wire is negative? A friend was helping me and I am now not sure which is which. I dont have the plastic do-hickey that the connectors are in. I have a new one on the way which is another reason im asking. Thanks as always!!!!

For DSII systems, green is negative. I think positive is orange or red.

The 'horseshoe' connector is Dorman #85848

You can get it for $5-10 from most auto parts stores that have a HELP! display.
