Not quite right, Patton -

CB = Contact Breaker (or points), which is the ground side of the circuit.
For positive ground, CB is equivalent to "+".  For negative ground, CB is
equivalent to "-".

  If I remember right SW = Switch side and CB = Contact Breaker side.  I
  think that means the polarity of the car would be what is coming from
  the switch, and the oppisite out to the distrubutor.   So on a
  negative ground car SW=Negative and CB=Positive.

  Someone please veryify, but I wanted to make sure my logic is right.
