'67 Delco Tar Top Battery Question....

[Patrick T.]

Does anyone know, or know where I can find what the exact dimensions for the above referenced battery are? I want to make sure the repro battery tray I have is correct and that the hold down and top cover will fit before I purchase the battery. Thanks, Patrick

Save your nickel Patrick.
1967 batteries are 10-1/8" x 7" in plan view.
