Actually while the car will run with the regulator polarized and the cables reversed, both the coil and the regulator are wired for polarity.

On the coil side the direction of the spark will change. And the regulator fields will have a change in flux. Some of the current in the regulator will end up flowing through a winding.

So I would change both the coil and the regulator over to negative ground merchandise. The coil doesn't make much difference however. And for all these gadgets people want to use, well, I would run them off of a separate power supply anyway.

After 19 years I finally had to buy a new car. I would have fixed the old one myself if I was retired and I miss it already. So I shopped around for a car with the least gadgets possible and bought it based on the durability record. While I was there another couple came in and said the only thing they cared about was that the car has four wheels and doesn't break down. What is wrong with these carmakers and the government?

My biggest kick came when they wanted to tie my phone into the radio. I bought my phone when I was in Pentagon City and it only makes telephone calls and can't be hacked. "What kind of phone is this?" they asked. "It's called a telephone. It makes telephone calls."

When I was on the road recently I came over a hill running 85 mph in Dakota and there was an idiot backing up in the left lane. If I had been distracted by the phone I would have crashed and been killed. Everything in the car flew forward into the dashboard.
