The coil can still "work" REGARDLESS if its leads are swapped. HOWEVER, it will work better and more efficient with less heat losses if its wired CORRECT. Thats due to the physical direction and orientation of its windings. If current flows one way the magnetic field generated one end is N with the other S, while if reversed they swap, and the coil was designed for one certain way, although she can still spark though not as efficient if wired bass ackwards as theres still mutual inductive coupling taking place.

BOTTOM LINE if its a 6 volt coil or a 12 thats not internally ballasted, YESSSSSSS when I change battery polarity I reverse the coil leads.

Good Luck n God Bless Yall
