Old one wired pos to starter and neg to side of distributor. Truck ran fine this way, but I see your point. Seems like it would be the other way around. Kind or wondering why it was wired this way originally... 1946 Chevrolet 1/2-Ton In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix in Photobucket 1951 GMC 100 Deluxe Cab In the Stovebolt Gallery More pictures in Photobucket
