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?

It was always my understanding that once all American cars went to 12 Volts (1956) they were all negative ground. The saying used to be "12 Volt is negative ground the whole world 'round"
I won't swear that it's true but yes, a lot of 6 volt systems are positive ground.
My studebakers are positive ground. till 1956 when they changed to 12 volts
