I do believe that you believe that you are correct. However you are not. The coil has two windings, a primary and and secondary. The turns ratio is not a 1 to 1. Therefore to "correctly" hook up a coil that was designed for a pos. ground system; with the primary winding being the neg. post and the secondary winding being the pos. post, these primary and secondary terminals must be observed as such. Thus with this original coil, when used in a system with neg. ground requires the hot or positive lead from the ignition to go to the primary (neg coil terminal) and the secondary (positive coil terminal) to go to the distributor which is ground. Notice that I did not say it would not run the other way. I only stated to hook in up correctly the above should be followed. So doing will provide a superior spark and is according to how Mr. Kettering designed the system.
