Yes Steve if you bolt the coil on upside down this will induce a magnetic field in the armature the wrong way
for the coils windings to produce the correct high voltage in the secondary windings.

Yes on the original coil the kill switch wire is on the bottom of the coil.

Some replacement coils are different but if the spark doesn't look good you could try it the other way.

The old kill switch wire is fine as long as it's not damaged.

Cheers
Max.
