Positive ground systems were used in some early Ford cars primarily for historical and engineering reasons. This design allowed for simpler electrical systems and helped reduce corrosion in the wiring. However, as automotive technology progressed, negative ground systems became the standard due to improved efficiency, better compatibility with modern components, and ease of use in electrical repairs. Most contemporary vehicles, including Ford models, now utilize negative ground systems.

That depends on the vehicle. Some use negative ground and some use positive ground. Most modern cars (after 1970 or so) use negative ground electrical systems, but it's best to check the manual for the particular model of car your are working on. Typically, positive ground systems will be found in British cars such as Triumph and some really old American cars.
