Like anything with the old cars and unknown modifications, it depends on what the car has for a charging system. If the car has an original type generator and cut out relay or an alternator conversion then a person can connect and charge the battery as long as they have a 6-volt charger. If the car has a fun projects regulator on top of the generator then the ground lead should be disconnected from the battery for charging. Just be sure to get a good reconnect before starting the engine. The Fun Projects set up is sentitive to bad connections of either power or ground.
