driver side negative goes to the block. driver side positive runs along the radiator support and connects to the passenger side battery positive post connector, then down to the starter.

Well, it's an important question to be asked when dealing with dual batteries. If you hook up two batteries in parallel, which is POS to POS and NEG to ground, then you get double amps and keep the volts the same. If you hook up in series, which is POS to NEG, then you get double volts and keep the amps. So not a "stupid" question in my book. Just one that takes a little understanding of how batteries can work.
