No, the generator can put out either way. A couple weeks ago I fixed a 1930 Coupe that had the battery in backwards. I had to switch the amp meter wires, and coil primary wires, as well as change the battery around, then repolarize the generator. Everything was working fine the way it was, but it's nice to keep things as originally wired, so if someone has to fix something there will be less confusion.
