There are two kinds of solenoid triggers (regardless of voltage) one kind triggers to the hot lead, the other kind triggers to ground. The push button starters trigger from a the lead being brought to ground, the key type solenoids trigger by connecting the hot lead.

Just to add to the confusion I do believe the solenoid only needs a Positive & Ground to activate, it does not care what path they come from. The push button to ground works just fine without any wiring changes. The push button to ground is what most of the older vehicles use & with no problems when switching from pos to neg ground Except for the regular things like Light bulbs, heater motors, voltage regulator, coil & gages.
