Red is usually the colour for the positive post, and black the colour for the negative post. Look as well for a '+' and a '-'. The '+' is the positive post and the '-' is the negative one. If you are in doubt, have someone with more experience help you. One little error can quickly result in costly damage to your vehicle's electrical system.

How do you jump start a Lincoln mark 6?

What is posts and where do you get them?
It depends on what you are referring to. Posts can be comments or additions to Web sites on the computer, a battery has posts that the cables connect to. Fence posts. You can post a letter. Since this is under car parts and repairs, I will assume battery posts. A battery with top posts has them as a part of the battery and they cannot be replaced. A side post battery uses a bolt to connect the battery cable to the battery with a flat connector. You can get adapters that screw into the bolt hole in the battery and let you use a side post battery in a car that uses a top post. You can get them at an auto parts store or any place that sells car batteries.
