Michael,

  I'll almost garentee that it is a negative ground system.

However, to prove it to yourself, start at the battery.
Follow the cable from the positive terminal - it should go to
the starter solenoid.  The cable from the negative terminal 
of the battery should go to the eng. block.

If it is opposite of above, then you have a positive ground
car.
