Default Re: Centrifugal advance distributor

Pan Head Guy, I was just suggesting that changing the polarity would be easy, IF NEEDED. Since it is mechanical points, positive ground is just fine. The only other polarity consideration is if the condensor is the electronic type, made using semiconductors. But I have never seen that on a car and it would probably not work because the ignition system rings, with positive and negative voltage on the condensor.
