Re: R79 Battery 1969-70
Rick,
Maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but it seems you are referencing that the R79 and R79S are both the same battery? There are 3 distinct models of R79 batteries. If yours is the straight R79 you are correct in saying it is a 2900 watt version.
The R79S was a 3250 watt battery and the R79W was a 3750 watt battery.
I've never witnessed any LS6 cars with anything other than the R79W with the exception of of 1 LS6 built in July of 70 that had the R89W battery on it's buildsheet which is a plastic case style battery like the R89W that has been reproduced. It's a cool piece regardless, good luck with your sale.
Chris
