FD to FC Primary Coil question
I'm installing an FC primary coil on my FD and have a question. On the FD coil, what polarity do the wires correspond to? I found this thread from GoodFellas suggesting that polarity doesn't matter. I hate to be a doubter but I imagine Mazda wouldn't bother to put a + and - on the terminals if this was the case. I remember from back in my VW days that you could hook up a bosch-type coil backwards and while it would work, it wouldn't work as well.
Can anyone confirm please?
Thanks..
Dave

From what I remember, the FC coil is connected directly to the igniter, and the igniter should be taking care of terminal polarity. If you look at a stock FC you should be able to tell what goes where. There's one sitting at my friend's house, I can take a photo this weekend.

From the wiring diagram that I've downloaded, the Black/Red wire is coming from the positive terminal of the battery (after passing through a fuse or two). It should connect to (+).
