Amy,
One thing about converting from + to - earth that I cannot find the answer
to is the effect on SU fuel pumps. In theory those pumps have a
polarity-sensitive diode (they sell one for - earth and one for + earth
anyway). So, you say, just reverse the wires leading into the pump. OK, but
does that make your pump move fuel the wrong direction? It may not, since
these are diaphram pumps. But, I don't know for sure. Does anyone on the
list?
OTOH, numerous people have made the conversion. I just don't know if they
have SU fuel pumps with diodes (they may have non-SU, after-market pumps or
they may have really old, original SU pumps that never had diodes to worry
about!)
