It's probably worth mentioning that the suppressor goes on the switch side
of the coil, not the points side. For cars converted to negative ground,
this should be the negative terminal of the coil, but it's not uncommon to
find an improperly done conversion.
So, the safe thing to do is trace the wire from the distributor to the
coil, then put the suppressor on the _other_ low tension terminal.
