I think your saving grace here is that the car is old. If you are lucky it will fire right up and you might have to deal with charging issues (also maybe not). If you ever wonder why the starter works both ways, it changes polarity on the armature but also on the field windings which keeps the rotation direction the same. Might be nervous about the guy who put the battery in. Hope he didn't do any other creative wiring. Flaming poo perhaps...hehe. Post if you have more issues, like I said before, I have actually been through this before.
