Question about '98 ignition coil...

I'm installing an MSD Blaster coil, but I'm trying to confirm the polarity of the original coil wires. It has a blue and a red wire. Can anyone tell me which is positive, and negative? I tried hooking up my volt meter, but there was no voltage showing even with the key turned to "on."

Thanks,

Del

: You might recognize the bracket as the bracket for the original coil.

Okay, took a chance that the red wire was positive, and I was right. I even tested with my volt meter to confirm.

I modded the mounting bracket for the original coil to mount the MSD coil. Using the cutoff disc and my Dremel, I cut off the rivets holding the old coil to the bracket. Then I hammered the 90 degree bend out of the end of the bracket.
