A couple questions about my 50 Pontiac
Pretty basic but I just want to make sure about a couple things. First, it is a negative ground system isn't it? And second, is the starter the same for an automatic and manual shift transmission?

According to the Hollander interchange manuals:
'49-54 Pontiac, all 6-cylinder use the same starter except PowerGlides* '49-54 Pontiac, all 8-cylinder use the same starter except PowerGlides* *- I wasn't aware that PowerGlidie was ever used in Pontiacs? Yes, these were all 6 volt, negative ground.

Powerglides were used for a few months in '53 Pontiacs (and Dynaflows were used in Caddys and Oldsmobiles) because of the fire . Look here: https://history.gmheritagecenter.com...ire_in_History

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
