So I have acquired a 1940 Huppmobile, The previous owner had it hooked up negative ground, It had been sitting for several years(20) before I had acquired it, I did get it running but the gauge is showing a discharge when I run it (and I occasionally get a little shock when I'm touching the body and the starter), it is a 6 volt system. I"m thinking it may need to be hooked up Positive ground. My questions are #1 will a vehicle (car or tractor) that is hooked up in reverse still run (like this currently does) and everything works light etc.. . #2 if I do reverse the cables to a positive ground and its not suppose to be that way .. what will I destroy? (if anything. Also I have read about polarizing the generator.. what is that procedure. thanks for your help
