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.
