Well, the truck battery went away the other night. So I pulled the generic battery out of the Corvette and put it in the truck. After all it is brand new and works great in the truck. Now I want to get a Delco battery for the '66, which at least will be the correct brand, and the right configuration.
I used to sell batteries a long time ago, and what I think the car needs is a Group 24 battery. The group number specifies the dimensions and the post configuration. The Chev parts guy did not know what I was talking about but was able to find a part number he could order for a five year battery. It may or may not be a Group 24, and it may or may not be the right configuration. The price was ... high.
Anyone out there with knowledge of current Delco batteries, that are configured properly and with top posts only (not like current modern generic ones with both top and side posts)?
thanks, Everett
