I am the new owner of a 1929 AC International that sometime in its past was converted to negative ground and there is a battery cut off switch in the grounded negative cable. There is no information about the work already done. There is still a generator. The electro lock ignition switch has been replaced by a wired key switch. What do I need to check to insure the conversion was done correctly?

This car is new to me and I want a driver so I will need lots of help in the future'

Thanks

All Chevrolets were negative ground from the factory.

That is really good to know. In all my reading that has never come up so I guess I just assumed it was positive ground like many other cars of that era.

Thanks for the quick response.

No problem. You're not the first to make that assumption and I'd wager you won't be the last.

That's why I joined this forum. So much knowledge out there so I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks again.
