 Okay... after sitting 10 years, this 1973 914 1.7 is cleaned-up, "prepped" and ready to be started! BUT FIRST I NEED A BATTERY! 1. I am considering an Optima "gel" battery, but don't know which one is going to work best for a car with "stock" battery tray and stock battery cables. Red top or Yellow top? Top post or side post? If you have an Optima, which one do you use? 2. What is the best way to mount an Optima battery to a stock battery tray? 3. I have never started the car and don't know if the engine is "junk" or not. Therefore, in your opinion, should I jump into an expensive (Optima) battery or first buy a cheap "Pep Boys Special" and replace the battery with a "gel cel" later if I decide to keep the project going? 4. Am I overlooking any other options (other than a cheap conventional or Optima battery)? I really appreciate any feedback you experts out there can provide! Thanks in advance for your input! - Keith |
