[Healeys] Can't get the Healey startedþ

Yes, just red to red and black to black, or + to + and - to - if you prefer. 
Only thing to remember if you are jumping from negative to a positive ground 
car don't create a circuit from chassis to chassis on both cars while doing 
the jump, i.e. don't let the bumpers touch if both cars have chrome bumpers, 
did that once when I was jumping my old generator Sprite (positive earth) 
with a newer alternator Sprite (negative earth) many many many years ago, 
made some sparks, didn't hurt anything.

Not sure if you could use your body as the short creating medium if you 
touched grounded metal on both cars while jumping, have been told it is low 
voltage, so little likelihood of this, but not really wanting to experiment 
and find out.
