After converting to Negative Ground, my car felt and still feels electrically "peppier", seems to have more energy, electrically speaking. I would not go back to Positive ground. Also, I wanted consistency with my other Jaguar, a 1984 XJ-6. Don't want to be thinking "ohh this car is Negative but the other is Positive". Nahh, give me Negative Ground all around. the correct procedure for re-polarizing a Generator to Negative Ground can be found at http://www.starautoelectric.com
