Okay I ordered a 6 volt alternator for now it can be positive or negative ground it depends on how I hook it up. So I will need to connect the cable to the starter from the negative post on the battery so would this make it a positive ground system like it should be? The other cable goes to the transmission and the positive terminal on the battery. So this is how it should be originally? I hope this is correct? I will search for a generator as well later on I just want to get the car up and running again. Will the amp meter still function the same way as when the generator was working?
