I belive that is right.. the positve wire has 2 leads going to it.. its black/yellow.. and the other is negitive.. I think it even says on the coil itself.

Just extend those wires out to the external coil, install the new cap and your good to go.

the coil has + and - signs on it where the wires go...just use the labeled one in the right place, but the other two guys were right on the colors
