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.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
