Positive Grounding Vehicles

[nutz]

Yes too much for my 50
And don't care ...like it vintage
Remember people doing the conversation on old vw without a lot of parts
But they are neg ground

Iirc some people drop in a 12v battery with a center tap. 6v for running the car, 12v for starting

Yes on mopars.

yes i know; i was saying i personally havent worked on any mopar positive ground systems.

55 and older had it. I never worked on those systems either, but I did the conversion on my 52. I couldn`t get any electric gauges working even with 6V reducers, any way they were hooked up. Did get the wiper motor working with voltage reducer, that`s it.

well i hear starters spin like hell with 12 volts hooked up

My 6V horns work with 12 but it blows the fuse if I lay into it. I probably need heavier wire and a relay in the mix.

heater motor speed resistance coils work well to drop the voltage on those
ballast resistors work well on low current light systems too
use a mid/med speed coil for high current stuff.
and many instruments don't realize +/- swap other than the ammeter
convert the generator/regulator, good to go
a convert can be cheaper than a high current 6v battery vs 12v
