Unless the positive ground cars had a different shape starter in them
there should be no difference between a "positive" and "negative"
ground starter. Since the magnetic fields are electrically generated,
when you reverse the voltage the magnetic poles reverse and the motor
turns the same direction.
Anybody out there that converted from Positive to Negative ground ever
have to do anything to there starters???
