Hi guys,
Moving back into my 74 Palm Beach and discovered some battery issues. The PO changed a lot, some gome, some not so much. It had two 12v batteries as both house and engine batteries. The batteries are still at 90 percent so I bought a third battery for the engine, moved the two older batteries to the driver side and have no idea how to wire the positive side. I'll connect the two batteries in parallel and ground the negative side the the aluminum chassis. Does the positive connection go to the isolator? That would seem to make sense but which terminal? Diagrams I've found on line are no help. 73 and 74 are different from the rest.
Anyone know the answer or have a link to some photos?

According to the wiring diagram, the positive house battery cable goes to one side of the boost solenoid.
As a side note, the positive engine battery cable goes to the other side of the same boost relay.
