What is the latest proper fitting Optima Battery for a '74 2.0L ?? I am especially concerned about height restrictions, as my current conventional battery JUST clears the rain tray.

I refuse to put a lead/acid battery in my LE ever again. The yellow Porsche acid pad that fits under the battery does not do a damned bit of good as far as I'm concerned. Optima 34R with the bottom tabs/ears sliced off the sides fits my 74 2.0 perfectly. I agree that Optima quality has gone downhill lately, however it's still cheaper than repairing rust caused by acid spill, acid boilover or rain/wash water mixed with battery acid.
