[FWDLK] 6V neg ground to 12V pos ground

[Rich <RJZ123@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi all.  My very first Chrysler product was a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker
Deluxe with 6V pos. ground.  After 2 years of tolerating occasional hard
starting I mounted a 12V alternator with neg ground.  I knew to change
all the bulbs and the ignition coil.  Then I panicked when I thought it
would crank backwards!!!  To my great relief it cranked O.K.  The
starter never failed from the higher voltage, and I think even the wiper
motor worked [I had the fastest wipers in town!!!].  On cold mornings in
New England that faster cranking was a blessing.
