Good thinking.  Here's the only one I have - because it's 20 miles away and New York is on lockdown. https://imgur.com/a/FLXNNsH Image added by Steve Weblin Forum Moderator

Ah yes, I should have said - sorry.  I'm 20 miles away from the car, and self-isolating.  So I was hoping to get the correct parts ordered so we can get cracking as soon as this pandemic is under control. And your reply makes me think something else: is it possible that the same model from the same manufacturer has two different configurations - some being positive ground and some being negative ground? Or maybe it could have been changed at some point in the car's life (I don't understand electricity enough to think through the whys and wherefores of that).

I have a 1963 Herald 1200 Convertible, North American delivery.  Vin: GA/120284-LCV I want to put a pertronix electronic ignition on it, but I need to know if it's a positive or negative earth (or "ground", as they say in North America).  My 1962 Herald 1200 Coupe was a negative earth, but that was a UK car, and I don't know if they'd have been different. Any ideas from the braintrust?  

He still hasn't come through for me.  I sent him three hundred quid back in June, and as soon as he got the money he went quiet.  I found a phone number somewhere and left him a voicemail, then he got back to me saying he'd been unwell and he'd get it done soon.  Silence.  That was a month ago.
