Omega is Negative ground, as is virtually everything you see on the roads nowadays.

However, I must ask what on earth you are fitting, as virtually nothing these days gives positive earth as an option ? Either archaic, or really cheesy chinese product?

(BTW, positive earth was popular on some VERY(!) old classic cars)
