Much mo'bettah you should change the rest of the car to negative
ground. Most of the positive-ground-era cars don't have much in the way
of electronics; the lights don't care, the windshield wiper motor
probably won't care, and the switches don't care. About all you'd have
to change is the heater blower motor and the starter
**** Correction: The starter don't care. The heater blower don't care,
either. About the only things that care are the ignition coil ( just reverse
the wires ), the ammeter ( reverse the wires ) and the battery ( reverse the
wires ). Of course, when you do this on a generator-equipped car, you mustn't
forget to repolarize it!

p.s. This changes for cars later than mine. I think sixties cars started to
have transistors in the tachometers, that kind of thing...
