    Post Help With Holden VS

    I've got a problem my mate has a motor for my VS and tells me it runs on positive ground, is that true?
    I thought that went out with dinosaurs!!

    he reckons that if you take a globe out of the headlights and touch it on the body it will work!!!!

    Commodores run negative to earth - if you swap your battery around you will blow quite a few electrical components plus a lot of dollars. Positive to earth went out with the dinosaurs as you say. I think you're a bit smarter than your mate!

    Maybe he's confusing it with earth switching...
