    Andrews coils on 82 Kat 1000 sz

    hello GS' ers.
    I have been given a pair of vintage ( Red) Andrews coils. They have an impedance of 3.0 ohms so I believe them to be correct for my machine. My dilemma lies in the fact that these coils have neither a positive or negative indication on the brass screws as are on my stock coils. Nor they come with any directions.
    Along these lines I would ask any and all fellow owners on this site to enlighten me and to impart your knowledge and or experience in the installation of the beautiful coils. Proper connections would be great. The actual plug wires I think I can discern for all my exiting wires are numbered and can perform a coil at a time.
    I will attach a pic so you can see the coil. Thank you again , Ole Skool

              Either side will work for the 12vdc switched and the signal wire. Just take care with the screws you use. I have the dynatek 3.0 ohm coils and spark will jump from the terminal crew to the mounting screw and blow the fuse. I think it's more the signal wire that does it more than the 12vdc terminal. Either way, i replaced the metal bushings with plastic and haven't had an issue since
