Does the lead from the positive or negative terminal of the battery to the
battery cut-off switch (ground). If the lead from the negative terminal
goes to the switch, the car is negative ground, Alternatively, if the lead
from the positive terminal goes to the knob, the car is positive ground.
If the car is negative ground, it would be easier to convert the engine to
negative than the car back to positive.

Hello List - here's my dilema, as applies to my '57 100-6. I acquired an
engine seperate from the car, the engine was rebuilt (generator, everything)
as positive ground. (Leo Rouf) The problem: I don't know if the car is
positive ground. It didn't have a battery as an indicator; it looks like it
went through a restoration awhile back so I wonder if a PO may have made the
switch from positive to negative ground.
Any way to tell if the car is neg or pos ground? (I've checked the archives
-
plenty of info on how to make the switch, but can't find anything on how to
tell if a car has been switched)
thanks for any help.
