Lanaki........ALL 4-speed 8N Fords came from the factory POSITIVE (+) ground. Are you certain yer Ford is an 8N? 'cuz they didn't start producing until very late 1947. The 3-speed 2N continued production until early 1948. Surprizingly enuff, the 2N also came from the factory positive (+) ground.
And even more amazing yer 6V-genny can produce either (+) or (-) electrons.
It is very common fer neubie shadetree mechanics to connect their 6V-battery negative (-) ground like their 12V Belchfire-V8 with alternator. There are some obscure advantages to positive (+) ground but 12V alternators DEMAND negative (-) ground or you will let the smoke outta yer 12V alternator.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
