positive ground 6 volt expert needed

I just save the life on a 37 Chrysler Business Coupe. I have the car running after sitting for 25 years and most everything is operational. The car currently has a positive ground 6 volt system in it and I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to this question. On a positive ground car, should the Amp meter show that the car is charging when the needle indicator is on the negative side of the meter or on the positive side.

 

+ is charging and - is discharging.

You may need to polarize the generator

 

Thanks Ed, that's what I thought but positive ground is new to me

 

How do you polarize a generator? I just had mine rebuilt?

 

Double check the ammeter by turning on the headlights with the engine off.
It should show a discharge then.
If it shows on the charge side, the ammeter is wired backwards.

And show a charge when the engine is running.

There are some negative ground 6V cars out there, do a little research to see which way the ChryCo cars are set up.
