Why did I think the TR6 was a positive ground (verusu American
vehicles which a negative ground)? Was the positive terminal ground in
earlier years?

All Tr6's are negative ground, and it is a 12 Volt system.
Don't be scared, they are a lot easier to work on than modern
cars, and a lot more fun to drive.
