Like Brian says...it's not gonna fool most car guys, or especially car judges, but I think it's a lot better to glance in and see what
appears to be an R-59, versus your run of the mill sealed unit. And, once you've had an R-59 "pop the cherry" on your engine compartment, then you are gonna be a little gun shy. Plus, it's nice to have the extra juice of a modern battery for when that big block is just a tad warm and is not really wanting to start...
[Man, I hope Casey doesn't see that remark about something "appearing" to be something it's not! He may think I'm switching over to SA!]
