Negative post. From there the circuit goes through the switch to the
negative (hot) side of the battery. The positive post is connected to the
distributor/points and then to ground. This will result in the spark jumping
from the center electrode of the spark plug (-) to the outer electrode (+),
which is what you want.
See British Car magazine issue of Jun/Jul '97 for a good article on this.
