martyn wright Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hi! Can someone tell me if my Vitesse is "Positive or Negative Earth)? I have the late (July 1966) Model 1600/6? as both wires to the Battery are Black and are not fitted to the car? Kind regards Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I think this has been discussed before and the two terminals on your car should be slightly different sizes. I would measure them and the larger will be the positive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 the Herald /Spit/Vit6 WSM states its positive earth , there is a date for the herald change well my 64 vit6 was def neg earthed maybe it was swapped ?? there is a note that neg earth introduced 1200 herald march 68 mk3 spit neg and 13/60 all neg there is no qualifying note about the Vitesse 6 , the wiring diagram shows it as pos earth Jonny is right the terminals should be large for pos and a bit smaller dia for the neg battery posts so that should guide you providing someone has not forced and spread the clamps you are not supposed to be able to get it Wrong Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
