Stephen -
For your 100/6, if it has original style points in the distributor and
also the fuel pump, then you can put the battery in any way you want
and the car will run either way. Just be sure to swap terminals on
the coil at some time as these work better one way vs the other.
If going negative, you may (or may not) need to polarize the coil
magnets on the dynamo with a quick touch to positive is it? Lots of
info in the archive on this. Either way you can start anyway without
doing this and the dynamo might take anyway.
