I just discovered my TO-30 has a positive ground. Is this right?

I forgot to mention that it is a 12 volt, is it still ok to have a Positive ground with a 12 volt system?

Depends on your charging circut. Fairly common in the late 50s to have 12 volt positive with a generator and regulator. If you have an alternator then is it much less common but not impossible. If you have a generator and regulator sometime the backside of the regulator will say 12volt neg. or positive.

Yes, it is charging with an Alternator & positive ground, 1952 model. Should I change it to Negitive ground?

If it charges I would not fool with it. If it is a Delco alt. someone went to additional expense to change it to pos. gr.
