The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Battery disconnect switch- on positive or negative

REByar · 10-11-2017, 10:47 PM

I purchased my 1928 Tudor 5 years ago. At the time the previous owner had the disconnect switch on the positive post of the battery. The cable then went to the frame. The negative is directly connected to the starter. It has been fine. But I have recently read that the disconnect switch should be on the negative side. Does it make a difference?

Thanks for your advice.
