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.
