David A has it right. It does not matter to the electricity whether the positive or the negative is grounded. The only reason you think of negative ground as normal is because it is what you are used to. There is a lot of confusion as to the direction of electron flow vs current flow. My background is in electronics and have heard all this before. A long time ago I deceided that the whole argument wasn't worth the effort. For some reason, early cars, trucks and tractors were mostly positive ground, then, in about the mid 50s there was a switch. I have been told several reasons for the change and none of them have made any sense to me from an electrical point of view. Neither way is inherently superior to the other. One caveat to that is that in todays world, positive ground electrical accessorys are not easy to come by. As long as the components of your system are designed for the grounding system you have, keep what you've got.
