[Healeys] Pertronix question

[RAWDAWGS at aol.com]

I have rebuilt the engine on my Longbridge BN4(thank you, Richard  Mayor) 
Tonite I turned the engine over and have good oil pressure and  flow. I would 
really like to to start the beast. I figured that I  should go ahead and 
switch to modern ignition, starter and fuel pump . I am  thinking I will start 
the car with the generator, but  because I am  planning to eventually go  
to an alternator, I ordered a negative ground  pertronics. My thinking is I 
can just change out my fuel pump and polarize the  generator and get her 
started. My understanding of the process is that you  switch battery cables and 
turn on the ignition and quickly short the A and  F connections on the 
voltage regulator. Sounds like magic. Is it really   that easy? How do I know if 
it "took"? I have a negative ground pertronics how  should I hook it up to 
the coil? Anyway I can fry the Pertronics? Blow up my  garage? Thanks, Scott
