If this is a standard coil and not a coil pack the negative terminal is one of the two smaller ones on either side when looking at it from the top. The one marked with a minus sign ( - ) is the ground. On most German cars ( usually bosch brand coil ) the side with 1- marked on it is the ground and the one marked with 15+ is the primary positive.

1968 Ford truck how do you remove the starter?

I just bought a 1968 Ford F100/ranger and my ignition coil went out which is located on the passenger side by the firewall or on side wall, anyway after looking it over trying to replace the ignition coil, theres a negative wire that runs from the coil to the started. i crawed under it to inspect the other end of the negative wire and located what seems to be the starter..it doesnt look hard to take off, a few bolts.....but i would suggest looking at your ignition coil also, unless your sure its the starter.....the ignition coil module is only $15-$16 at auto zone..i would try to replace the cheapest componets first and work your way up. or else your going to spend alot of money tring to get it started.....good luck bro

How do you test the ignition coil on your 1994 Geo Metro?

Disconnect the distributor cap end of the coil wire and attach to an ignition tester. Attach the ignition tester to a good ground, away from any fuel lines. A good spark tester can be made from an old spark plug gapped to 0.200". Crank the engine and observe the tester for spark. If a crisp blue spark is noticed, the ignition coil is working properly. If a pale yellow spark, or no spark, is noticed, the coil is more than likely bad.
