The generator should be fine too. To reassure yourself, you can
flash the generator by touching a wire connected to the positive
side of the battery to the F post on the generator. This will set
the generator to the correct polarity if it is not already
repolarized. The most obvious effect to the car will be with the
ammeter. If it reads to the + side when you turn on the switch
and then goes to the - side when the car is running, the wires
have to be reversed. Some recommend switching the coil leads for
best ignition performance. Nothing else on the car as it came was
polarity sensitive. Now if it has a Pertronics ignition or other
modern "upgrades" that is a totally different situation. <br>

<p>I got my 49 MG TC back from the mechanic that cleaned my
carburetors got my car started after being idle for many
years. I discovered the battery was wired for negative
ground, will that have an effect on the starter and the
generator?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
