Originally, the positive post would be connected to the ground, this was done by a strap or cable to a point on the engine block, the negative would be connected to the starter.

Maybe the best thing you can do is take a few pictures of how it is all connected up, and don't do anything else. Like "point A" "point B", etc.

I don't know all the bad things that can happen if the battery is hooked up backwards. Others can weigh in there. Some things won't care. Some things will.
