If that was the intent of the question, a couple clues I would look at is 1) Which coil terminal (+ or -) is wired to the distributor because if its Pog ground the coils + is while if Neg ground the coils - is........2) If it has an ammeter if its wired correct to match the batteries + or - ground, if you turn on lights or ignition not running it should swing over to - discharge but if it swings instead to + charge the battery ground isnt consistent wtith how the ammeter is wired. (one or the other is incorrect)

Of course this cant be a guarantee because someone may have wired things different or already switched polarity in the past...If its ORIGINAL AND IF CORRECT the two clues above can help answer the question.

The genny can still charge at EITHER polarity if polarized but the coil and ammeter polarities need to be taken into consideration also.

Hope this helps
