[SEL] running on a battery

[Paul Waugh]

Been a long time since I was around SEL people.  I have a JD  E that I give
up having a hot mag on it. I have a coil and 12V battery.  I feel the coil
is a high impedance coil (6 inch long and 1+ inch in diameter). What I am
looking for is help on how to hook this up.  Where does the positive go? To
the inside or outside lug?? And the from the remaining lug to the points??
Does the negative go straight to the engine frame??

 

I am sure this is so simple for most of you, but not for this old fart. If
younger I would try different things until I figured it out, but today
cranking that much is not an option.  Thanks for any help I get.
