Seems like I've seen it done, don't remember if it ran or not A coil is a step up transfomer so when you wire it backwards it probally becomes a step down transformer, which may not make enough spark to light the spark plugs I don't have any motors that don't have electronic ignition on them so I'm a little leary of trying it for fear of burning up the ECU box Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
