Ok, so I got my coil in today...

I have connectors on the bottom with NO MARKINGS!!!!!!!

Which ones use power, which ones get signal?

There are no numbers at all on this coil...

On top, there is a symbol in one corner... That looks like a long = sign like so | |=== | |

So... Where do power wires go in, once I have that then signal should be easy...

all these wastesparks coils are wired the same. either pole is fine, just make sure it's like so on the same side throughout, so you don't confuse yourself

lol yea but just to save you some heart ache, you need to reed the whole thread especially the part I put in their about upgrading that factory white power wire to a larger gauge supply with a relay. That little white wire has a hard time supplying them big coils at high rpm

Yeah, read that a couple of times :-)

I am going to run another wire from that current one to another switched power source on a relay... already used 12 gauge THICK wire for on the coil, going to run another thicky to another source :-)

Oh and it fired right up..... just needed mainly to know if the poles were switchable :-)

that's great!!!! good to know it's working out for you. it's always best to run dedicated power and then activated by a relay; to give it all the juice it needs.
