I see various posts with pictures of red top Optima batteries.
I did some measurements but I think you would have to modify the drain pan if you installed one on a stock 73 914 2.0L in the normal spot for the battery. We are talking all stock stuff here as far as the engine. Anyone have any experince here? Will one fit? Thanks |

I noticed battery reliability changes with the builder (who gets the contract) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
