My apols as a fledgling, if this thread has been sewn too many times already.
Are all the 12 Volt TEA's (with generators) meant to be wired with positive earth?
My 54 model in Australia has a Lucas generator, battery neg to earth on underside of dash, wire from neg side of new coil to distributor. The 'charge light' on the dash comes on with ignition and fades to out or almost out after running a while. Despite this it seems to run OK.
As the battery is new (hooked up same as the old one) and the coil was recently renewed by the previous owner. I'm worried that the configuration might cook something. Also, I read somewhere that the generator needs to be polarised correctly when a battery is reconnected.
PS Wife say's I'm now married to the old girl! :?
