Pete, i spent 3 years before we changed over our GM from + to - ground. We had a Leece Neville alt. We just had to change over the leads and replace the oil and water guages on the dash. the alt. had + and - leads so that was easy. Im pretty sure you can find something in the archives. There was a article in the Feb 1994 issue of Bus Conversions that outlined the diode change over if you are keeping the generator. For us the dreading was worse than the changover. |

If your a FMCA member they have a series of articles from many years ago describing in detail the conversion on a pos ground 4104.
Should be close enough for you.
FREE from their reprints section.
