Re: Positive ground
Yep, if it isn't broke and works there isn't much need to "fix" it at this time.
Back in my late teens I had a Nash Metropolitan ragtop and when the Lucas generator went out we converted it to a Chevy generator and regulator and switched it to neg ground. I blew the engine and traded the body to a guy who had wrecked his metro ragtop but had a good engine. He put the Delco generator back in but hooked the battery up positive ground and in no uncertain terms informed me that my Chevy generator was junk and he had swapped the car back to a Lucas generator. He wasn't too happy when I asked him if he had hooked the car up Negative ground like I had set it up after he had thrown a four month old generator in the junk.
