Yes, you'll have to switch to NEGATIVE GROUND. The positive ground was one of Ford's early "better ideas" and was supposed to eliminate corrosion at the battery terminal. The only thing other than switching the cables is that you'll have to reverse the wires on the ammeter (or change the direction if it's the old pass-through type) and switch the small terminals on the coil. It's easy to do, and you'll love the new alternator. By the way, I've purchased 6 volt one-wire alternators. I have one on my '48 GMC, one on a '48 8N Ford, and one on my '49 TO-20 Ferguson. They all work perfectly.
