1947 ford 8n battery connection

Could anyone tell me the correct way to connect a 6 volt battery into a ford 8n. Positive or negative ground?

ALL 6V are + ground.

Lanaki........ALL 4-speed 8N Fords came from the factory POSITIVE (+) ground. Are you certain yer Ford is an 8N? 'cuz they didn't start producing until very late 1947. The 3-speed 2N continued production until early 1948. Surprizingly enuff, the 2N also came from the factory positive (+) ground.

And even more amazing yer 6V-genny can produce either (+) or (-) electrons.

It is very common fer neubie shadetree mechanics to connect their 6V-battery negative (-) ground like their 12V Belchfire-V8 with alternator. There are some obscure advantages to positive (+) ground but 12V alternators DEMAND negative (-) ground or you will let the smoke outta yer 12V alternator.

You do know how to tell which round post of yer battery is positive (+) or negative (-), don't you?

Iff'n you decide to install yer new 6V-battery positive (+) ground, (which I recommend) re-polarize yer genny by "arc-sparking" the side-by-side ARM and BAT terminals of yer squarecan voltage regulator, engine OFF. I use a wide-blade stubby screwdriver. You can use bailin'warr iff'n you want. You can re-polarize as many times as it takes to feel warm'n'fuzzy ...er... charged. .........the well charged Dell
