If you have taken it from pos ground to neg ground, swap the wires around on the ammeter, and if it's a gas, make sure the neg terminal on the coil is connected to the distributor.

And that's all there is to it. Couldn't be simpler!!! make sure the voltage regulator has been taken out-of-circuit, so you don't wind up with it pulling power or wires shorting where they shouldn't.
