There is no need to jump on the battery in the DeLorean; there are jump lead posts in the engine compartment. See the instructions on the sticker on your coil cover.

Should you attach the cables to the battery leads *or* should you only attach the positive cable to the positive battery lead and the negative cable to the frame of the car? A guy at Pep Boys told me that if you attach cables to both battery leads, and the battery is old/corroded and has fumes floating around, a spark may ignite the fumes and you'll end up with acid exploding on your face. So basically by keeping the cables away from each other you'll prevent the spark and potential explosion. I've never done it this way...I always attach cables to both leads and nothing ever happened.
