Hello, does anyone know if there is a way to distinguish between negative and positive earth cars? I have read several things from "if it has a rev-counter, it is negative earth" and the workshop manual tells me that a car with B in the chassis number should be a positive earth car. Now my car is a 1966 series 1 2000, single carb, LHD, with a rev-counter, chassis number: 40304860B so it should be a positive. I bought the car with no battery, and watched the previous owner try to start it with a negative earth set-up (it does run with ether). I am fairly certain the petrol pump is bad, but since I understand that you can ruin one by hooking up the battery wrong, I don't want to order one and ruin it immediately. I know you can switch to a negative earth, but how can I tell how this car is set up? Are there any differences that are visible? Thanks in advance, Christian
If it helps: when the battery was connected (negative earth) the windscreen wipers did function as they were supposed to...
