To polarize or not to polarize??

Posted by Mark on January 03, 2004 at 14:01:26 from (12.76.142.163):

Hi All,

My IH504 voltage regulator died so I installed a new one and it is now registering a battery charge so it looks like I am OK according to my multimeter.

Here is the question: My manual says I need to polarize the generator first or I can screw it up. The guy at NAPA says I only have to polarize if it is a positive ground vehicle, which it isn't. He says the voltage regulator is built for a negative ground vehicle and that I shouldn't polarize.

Please tell me what I should do. As of now it was charging fine for the 15 minutes I ran it.

Thanks.
