Gee and everybody said it was easy to convert to negative ground. It
sounds like (IMHO) the voltage regulator contacts are sticking due either to 
contact welding or residule magnitism. The next time you shut the car off and 
the ignition light stays on, rap on the voltage regulator with the handle end 
of a screwdriver and see if you can jostle the contacts free. I can't help much 
further since I haven't gotten to the charging system on my BGT yet.
