so how do i jump it correctly?

[billie82288]

hold on, im a bit confused.... the red cable is hooked to the chasis on one end and the black to the starter on one end. does that mean its still neg. ground?
so to bypass it to the starter with jumper cables i have one end pos. on pos. side of bat. and neg. side on neg. side of bat. the the other end of jumper cables i take the pos. end and hook it to the chasis and the neg. end i touch the starter with.
so is that right or am i not gettin something, ive had ppl tell me different things.
So whats the right way?

Do you know what year your chassis is?

Hi Chad,

It sounds like the P.O. (previous owner) may have replaced both cables and switched colors on you. Forget the colors and go by the + and - markings on the battery itself.

Always hook jumper cables positive to positive and negative to negative. Hook the negative cable to the boost battery last.

I found out today that both the engine and chasis is a '69 model.
