Yes, I've done it, and I'm doing it again now.  I'm converting a 55
Belvedere to 12-volt negative ground.  Fortunately, most of the 56 Plymouth
parts bolt up and run 12-volt negative ground.  Besides the voltage
diofference, the starter and radio are sensitive to polarity.  The coil
will run OK, but better if you use the 56-version with a built in ballast.
The condensor in the disti also needs to be changed to the 56 kind.
