Accel coil number:140403

[HARLEYMAN53]

I got this from a friend of mine and i wonder if it is okay to install it on the Pan? There is no +/- marking on it only 2 connections. If you want to a can post a picture. No install tec on the accel home page either.

Does this coil have a metal core through the center and mount holes on both ends?
If so it is a 12 volt coil for CB750 and Kaw Z1 and not suitable for panheads.
48-64 Panheads came from factory with six volts systems.
Find another coil.

harleyman,
If you are running 12 volts & points that coil will work. It will NOT work with a 6 volt system or a 12 volt system that has a capcitive discharge ignition system. And it does not matter which terminal is connected positive or negative; from the prestolite/Accel instructions;
"Attach primary leads from the ignition switch and ignition
pick-up to either of the brass lead studs. These can be
installed to either stud without negatively affecting the system."

But I would suggest exactly what Jerry did; find a different coil.
