You won't blow anything up so long as you have nothing electronic (transistorized) attached to the system. Which ever way you hook up the battery (pos ground would be my guess), if you polarize the generator, assuming you still have a DC generator and eletromechanical regulator, it will generate the right direction for the way you hooked up the battery. Lights, iginition, and gages don't care. Almost all electronic gizmos expect 12 volts, negative ground, so you probably can't use them anyway.
