(quoted from post at 12:51:03 08/15/09) I guess if it aint broke dont fix it, but that being said:
For one the coil is polarity sensitive so if youre now at neg ground the coils lil + wires to the ignitiion switch while its other lil - wires to the distributor (it was opposite that at Pos ground). It will still work either way but BETETR if wired correct
If originally Pos ground (like most 6 volt early IHC) and it has a working ammeter its leads would have to have been swapped otherwise it will read bass ackwards i.e. show charge when its really discharging and show discharge when its really charging - [b:ad08da47c8]John T - When I turn the lights on, the ammeter needle goes to the charge side of the gage. This tells me the leads are incorrect.

If you change battery polarity the genny would need re polarized to work correctly.
SOOOOOOOOOOO
Is it charging okay now??? [b:ad08da47c8]Not sure !![/b:ad08da47c8]
Have an ammeter and is it working correct? [b:ad08da47c8]Yes have an ammeter but with lights turned on the meter goes to the charge side of the filed.[/b:ad08da47c8]
Is the coil wired correct (to match your ground) ?
Fer as I know it was original 6 volt Pos ground so if you wanna go back,
Reverse battery,,,,,,,POLARIZE GENERATOR,,,,,,,,,Check any ammeter leads if they need reversed or not,,,,,,,,,,,Wire the coil as noted above (if needed)
