Obviously the positive one....which is best found by being the one that DOESN'T end at a ground point. the easiest solution to that is to start from the starter. the LARGEST (presumibly black) wire from the starter to the battery terminal is the GROUND. that would make the other terminal the positive.

How do you know which terminal on a starter is positive and which one is ground?

THE LAST ANSWER IS CORRECT OR MORE TO THE QUESTION THERE IS NO GROUND WIRE ON A STARTERFollow the wire. One will go to ground, one to hot. Most starters are marked with a + (positive) and a - (negative) on the terminals themselves,just like your battery. Usually the larger terminal where the battery cable connects to the starter is the positive terminal. .On a most starters both posts are hot(+) and the casing is grounded(-) .Usually the bigger post is a direct wire from the battery and the smaller post is a remote wire from the starter switch.Follow the positive battery cable wire (+) to the other end, that should lead you there. Because it will be connected to the starter solenoid. Please take note, a solenoid mounted on a starter has no ground wire, but a solenoid separated from the starter and mounted on the firewall does.
