Help: one wire alternator, 6v positive ground.

I had a nightmare last night that I installed my 6v alternator into my model-a backwards and fried it. After waking up and looking for the diagram "cant find" I can't remember if the one wire was supposed to be hooked up to the negative "power" or the postive "negative". help put my nerves at ease.

Just to be clear its a 6v one wire alternator conversion for a stock model-a with a positive ground.

Thanks.

 

Well, with positive for a ground I doubt that you want to connect the output of the alternator to the positive, that would be like tying your output to the frame. Not a good idea. When I did mine I just used the wire that went to the cut-out and routed that to the alternator output.

I agree. But I thought the charging system charges through the ground ie. flows from grounded to non grounded in that direction? So in this case it would flow from positive to negative?!

 

I'm thinking that's all taken care of in the alternator/regulator. Remember the alternator is grounded through it's case (positive) and the one wire output would be negative by default.

Alright awesome I have the one wire routed to the negative, Sometimes I still have to double check, And the dream this morning didn't help.
