I have a spare coil , which has + and - on the nose end . The original coil markings are : CB and SW (eg Con. breaker / Switch .)
Am I right in thinking , that the minus - sign , is the SW terminal : and the plus + sign goes on the / or is the CB terminal ?? I hope this makes sense ??
Advice / or confirmation greatly appreciated :roll: Arfron
( ps . my Morris 1000 is standaed - positive earth )

It depends on whether you are still +ve earth or have converted to -ve earth. If +ve earth then the CB = +ve, SW = -ve. If -ve earth then CB and SW will (or should) have been reversed. So +ve earth use + to contact breaker,; -ve earth use + to the ignition switch.

Coil = / -

Thanks for that Simmitc . Yes , my Morris 1000 is positive earth , so to confirm :
CB = + ( plus ) and SW = - ( minus) On the nose of the coil !! Cheers :roll: Arfron
