>I have converted the charging system in my tr3a to negative ground at some
time. While driving with a negative ground system the amp meter should
indicate a positive when the lights are turned on right?  or would it
indicate
a negative showing how much drain is placed on the system. Right now the
meter
swing to the negative.

Ronnie, if you switched the polarity then the ammeter will read opposite as
it did before.  If it used to indicate -Amps with the lights on it will now
read +Amps.  For this reason some folks recommend that you  reverse the
ammeter connections when making the conversion.  It is strictly optional as
it won't effect how the electrical system works and if you are comfortable
with the readings being reversed, good, for you.  Shows that you are
adaptable.

Cheers

Dave
