lots of threads on "+which +optima".

if you decide on the Red top, order the 34R. The 34R has the terminals in the correct position for the 914. NSN: 6140 01 475 9357
I'm also told that a lot of people use the group 78 adapter to secure the battery to the tray."
The adapter is key; the metal one that comes with the car doesn't quite fit the tray correctly.

Actually, if you use a Group 65 adapter on both side of the battery, it works perfectly with the stock hold-down clamp. Check out the pics in the thread mentioned above. Conveniently, the Group 65 adapters are included with the battery.
