Pan Head Guy, Just to let you know, the polarity of the generator can easily be changed by zapping the field coils. The field coils have a little bit of residual magnetism that snowballs when the car starts to become the polarity of the generator when it is changing. All the other electrical stuff, motors and lights, do not care with the exception of polarized LED's.
