<SNIP>All this talk about where to connect jumper wires is
foolish.</SNIP>

When given conflicting information, and no basis to judge it for
yourself, asking questions is not foolish.

On a "normal car", the reason the last connection should be to the
engine block, is because the last connection is the one that completes
the circuit and causes a spark. Since sparks and explosive battery
gasses (from charging/discharging) are not a safe combination, the last
connection made (and the first connection removed) should be the one on
the engine block (as far from the battery as reasonable).

On the DeLorean, making both connections in the engine compartment is
twice as safe.
