I have a 1955 Hudson Rambler Cross Country station wagon, it has a 6 volt 196 flathead engine. The positive battery cable runs to the block and the negitive battery cable runs to the soloniod, I have never ran accross this before. I have not had the engine running yet but it does turn over good. does anyone know about these engines? posted: October 4, 2009       Answers (2)   grumpyoldman      Yes, Your car is POSITIVE GROUNDED, That's the way most cars of that era were. Dodge used positive ground up till 196? I can't remember what year they stopped.
