It may not be original, but I converted my 55 400 to negative ground and installed an alternator. Need to reverse the ampmeter and change a coil wire, but everything else works. Either new or rebuilt alternators are available.
Are you talking about the high tension wire to the distributor? If not,why do you need to change a coil wire? If I understand correctly, the primary (battery) and secondary (distributor) poles of the coil can remain as originally connected regardless if the electrical system is negative or positive ground. Perhaps the "+" and "-" marks on the coil are leading you to think the wires should be swapped? I post this only to solicit information. Thanks.
