Ron,
Since the Pertronix unit is solid-state it likely has diodes, capacitors
and transistors that cannot be reverse-biased (the main part of the
circuit is probably a power transistor that is switched by Hall Effect
from the magnets in the rotor--like solid-state SU fuel pumps). If
Pertronix could make a dual-polarity (bipolar ;) unit--like some SU fuel
pumps that use non-electrolytic capacitors (points don't care about
polarity)--they probably would because they could design, build, stock
and support fewer products for the same number of sales. I believe we've
heard from at least one Lister who installed a Pertronix 'backwards' and
the unit was fried instantly.
Don't 'toss' your pos. ground unit--I'd be glad to take it off your hands.
