Default Omex Rev Limiter Fitting/Coil Negative Wire

I'm attempting to fit my single coil omex rev limiter to my civic because the previous owner had the limiter removed and I'd like to keep my engine safe.
To wire it in I need to take a wire to both the coil + and coil - . Where can I find these inside the dizzy cap? Every connection I measure seems to have 12v?!
Inside my distributor looks like this: http://easyautodiagnostics.com/honda...s/image_12.jpg
It's '94 B16A2 OBD1

Thanks.

Keep engine safe = no racecar driving habits.

The stock rev limiter is integrated into the ECU. Easiest way to fix it? Get the proper stock ECU for the car, or have your current ECU re-tuned to include a limiter.

Yes I'm aware of that but that's not what I asked is it. It would be easier for me to just wire this one in for now.
The coil clearly has a + and - marked on it yet I am measuring 12v at the - . Why and what connection should I use for the negative?
Here'a a pic of my coil:

just get the proper ecu or more simply stop driving you econ-o box like a race car there's NO reason you should be hitting close to the rev limiter daily driving it.

"2. Locate the coil wires and note their color and location. On the majority of Honda or Acura engines, the Black/Yellow wire is positive. The coil negative wire is generally White/Blue, Blue, Green/Yellow or Green. In some cases, the coil itself is marked negative (-) and positive (+)."

Thanks for your reply.

My coil is marked + and - but the confusing part is that I measure 12v at the - . I fail to understand that?

Improper measuring. That's why.

It's a coil, you'll get 12v at both point. Just wire per instruction.

Thanks for that I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to **** anything up, I haven't come across an ignition system like it before.
It works as it should.
