Afuente

I was able to get parts from RockAuto.com. I am still looking for clean radio buttons or a working radio. I need a few parts. NOS is preferred or rebuild kits. Water Pump 2 wheel cylinders for one rear wheel Master Cylinder Radio buttons or blank plate

To funny, I rewired the fuel pump when I switched to positive ground. I was joking about the motor running backwards someone made a comment about it in an earlier post. So everything should work with a negative ground but it would not be optimal. I plan to switch it back to positive ground, verify the coil and generator are wired correctly so the battery will not have reverse polarity feeding back into it. I plan to go back to the mechanical fuel pump. Is there anything else I need to do that you can think of?

I did switch it to positive ground and it all started and ran good. The ammeter showed negative and the lights did not work. They had an electric fuel pump that was negative grounded to the fender and positive wire run to the positive post on the battery. The radio doesn't work. I put it back as it was to have the lights. The fuel pump went bad so I am looking at an NOS pump to get it back to original. Would the motor really run backwards?

I bought a 47 Special Deluxe with a flat 6 which starts up and drives good. After I started looking through the service manual and understanding the 6v system I see the battery is actually setup as Neg ground. I had to jumper the back of the light switch to get the lights to work but I am trying to understand if this will hurt the car and should I change it back to Pos ground? What damage could this setup have caused if any?
