Stephen, The car and engine do not care which way you connect the  
battery.  Either positive or Negative ground. What will decide which  
way to connect is a couple of things. If you are going concourse you  
must go positive ground. If you are going to use a alternator, radio,  
power supply for a cell phone, or any electrical accesory installed  
on the car you must go to Negative ground. If you are going to keep  
the car pretty much stock you can go either way.
