Time has come for a new battery for my 76. What can you recommend in the +\- $200 range?
The car will be driven 3-4 times a week around town. The new technology Is amazing but does it apply to a 45 year old car? Thanks! |

I used to have the specified type 42 battery, I have installed a CB performance coil, distributor and cable kit, and a tiny blaupunkt stereo, with no amp, and had big issues with the charge, I also burned a coil, don’t really know if it had anything to do, but eventually the 42 died. I now installed an optima yellow top, and since it all disappeared.
(Still Need some cleanup to do, please pardon my mess jiji) |
