So one weird thing that is happening. And maybe there is a logical explanation. Or I am just inexperienced, but I thought this car was NEGATIVE ground when I bought it, but I didn’t label any battery cables, terminals etc when I broke it down. So now putting it back together, the lights come on and the starter spins when I have the battery either polarity...

I cannot try to fire up the engine right now because there is no exhaust on it and don’t want to blow out the neighbors, having it towed tomorrow to the muffler shop.

If I guess wrong after the exhaust is on, could I damage something, or simply just reverse it ?
