NEED HELP ON HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES ON MY 1974 MGB-GT. DO I CONNECT THE POSITIVE CABLE TO THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BATTERY AND THE NEGATIVE CABLE TO THE NEGATIVE CABLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE BATTERY? IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINE I'VE NEEDED TO DO THIS AND WILL APPRECIATE ANY HELP. THANKS , GUYS.
 
That would work, but to avoid screw ups, It is best to connect the positive to the positive on the passenger side battery and the negative to a ground.

BTW, ALL CAPS drastically reduces readability and is also considered bad internet form.
 
Unless you are a stickler for originality, I suggest making the change (when needed) to a single 12v battery (size Group 26) placed into the passenger (right side) of the battery boxes. You can then get a bin to place in the left hand side box to create additional storage.

Disconnect the ground to the chassis and connect the positive to one battery, the negative to the other.
