Coil Capacitor

Which side of the coil (+ or -) do you connect the coil capacitor? I think it's an orange wire.

Thanks for any help.

Assuming that you are referring to capacitor for radio interference (not the one in distributor), it should be connected to (+) pole, which is the one not connected to points in the distributor.

Thank you very much. Yes, I meant the one for radio interference. The thing in the distributor is a condenser I think.

In electrical parlance, condenser and capacitor are identical devices...
