Mike..... .....you don't give me much to go on here. 6 volt 8N's come with 2 very different distributors. The square frontmount distributor coil which uses the infamous "ballast resistor" mounted on the backside of the dashpanel. Or the sidemount distributor which uses a roundcan ignition coil and no ballast resistor. Then there are 2 different internally regulated 12 volt Delco SI-10 alternators. The seductively simple 1-wire that requires you to goose your just started engine to over 2000 rpms to get it to charge. OR the 3-wire idiot light version that starts charging as soon as you start your engine at 500 rpm idle. Glad you realized your 12 volt alternator requires NEGATIVE GROUND. And just incase, your starter motor doesn't care, positive or negative ground, it still turns the same direction. HOWEVER your ammeter does care positive or negative, traditionly the ammeter is hooked up so charge into the battery shows plus. Swap the ammeter lead around. Usually, most 12 volt conversion kits have instructions included, your 10 piece kit didn't come with instructions? I'm shocked. If you don't do it right, you'll never get your engine to turn off once you get it started. (disconnect your coil wire) There are several 12 volt conversion pages posted, try a search of this great N-Board at the top of the page. 12 volt conversions come in many versions, some of 'em even work. Do it right the first time. Don't hide your question 3 pages back, be brave, post at the top of the #1 page. You'll get better answers faster. But to answer your specific question, most connect their alternator 12 volt output to the starter solenoid battery terminal because it is eazest..... ...Dell
