car is positive ground.  the distributor had a module for neg gnd in it.  
petronix technician could not believe it worked as long as it did.   my old 
fuel pump works fine on his car and it is a pos gnd.   not sure exactly what 
did happen, but i know that on joel goldberg's BT7 we put a new battery in and 
found out later the posts were in wrong.  they gave us a new one but no damage 
was done as nothing was solid state.  i am staying away from solid state units, 
they scare me.   putting this one back to a points system so that i can fix it 
when it breaks.
