I"ve got a related question. Last night I went to start my "57 Major and was getting nothing but the solnoid "clicking". So I hoisted that side of the hood and went to work to find a loose or dirty wire. When I tried to turn it over again, I got a LOT of arcing around the POSITIVE terminal, in fact it appears that this arcing has been going on a while as the terminal is burned away on the inside! Then it struck me, I saw it on this forumn.....this thing is supposed to be "+" grounded!!! And it"s been negative grounded since I got it. I checked my manual, sure enough. It still has a Lucas dynamo(generator) so I"m wondering if that is toast now? It"s been wired/running like this since I got it, a little over a year ago. Any thoughts??!!
