I have a 1954 starliner champion (78,000 miles), but I am missing the electrical system pages of the 1954 supplement. The 1953 book I have says positive ground. I'm thinking, "What if one of the changes in 1954 was going to negative ground?" Another book says that Studebaker changed to 12V negative ground in 1956 (1961 Glenn's New Auto Repair Manual).
The reason for this thinking: Now that I am trying to see if this motor will turn, I notice the battery connectors on the car are the screw-in type and the molded ends indicate negative ground. I cut off these screw-in type connectors and put on the standard post connectors. I now have cold feet, so any help out there would be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve Vogt
