Re: Changing the Ignition Coil

Actually, the coil does not care which polarity it has, it is the spark plug that cares. The electrons will jump easier from the hot center electrode than the colder grounded electrode. Once the initial jump occurs the air is ionized and the electron flow is easier. That enables the multiple jumps going in opposite directions as the coil/condensor system rings. The ignition system is more complicated than most people realize. The devil is in the details.
Lightening works the same way. You have probably seen this. Once the air is ionized multiple discharges of the static electricity can occur, causing multiple flashes along the same path as the initial discharge.
