Negative ground is likely not your problem. It was factory ORIGINAL postive ground. Negative ground is CORRECT if properly configured.

For negative ground - post on coil goes to side of distributor. Connect ammeter to show negative with switch/lights on, engine not running. Some generator regulators are marked positive ground, some negative ground, some either polarity.

You regulator would be determining factor in proper polarity configuration.

First thing I would check for parasitic draw is to see if the cut out contacts in your regulator are stuck closed.
