65 L78 Battery Heat Shield?

[Daniel K.]

I see no evidence of a heat shield in the AIM for the '65. However, the JG indicates at all had a shield save for the AC cars. Also, did not see any discussion on battery heat shield for L-78 (not that it's not there somewhere...) during several searches. If a heat shield was in fact an OE item, can anyone please send a picture and perhaps direction as to where the shield can be purchased?

Thanks,

Dan K.

Dan -- No heat shield for L78's either; same as C60. The '65 TIM&JG will probably be made more specific in the upcoming 6th edition.

Thanks Wayne.

Also, when there is a discrepancy between the AIM and JG, which one is deferred to?

Thanks again.

Dan -

Experienced judges know that the L-78 battery installation is the same as on A/C cars (as noted in the Assembly Manual, section L78, sheet A2, under "UPC 12 Electrical", 12A and 12B) and won't take a deduction. That's why it's called a Judging "guide", not a "manual".
