Another question from the new guy. I got to go look the car over real good yesterday that I'm hoping to get this weekend. The guy i'm buying it from hasn't had it very long. He said the last time he drove it, it ran fine for a while, then started acting like it was running out of fuel and died. He said it backfired a few times. He said after letting it sit for a bit it would start back up and run again then do the same thing after a bit. I can figure out whether it's a fuel or fire problem. Here's what my question is though. The car is a six volt system. it's a 55. Isn't that a positive ground system? I noticed that the battery is hooked up like a 12 volt one would be with the negative to the block and the positive to the start solenoid. I would think that if it were hooked up backwards it would blow a fuse or not even start. Is that correct?
