Side Post Battery

Ron,
That's the way I understand it too. The HD Battery option (T60) gave you the side post battery. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable in this area will chime in but my '70 came with a side post as the HD option. I've even heard of some 6 cyl. cars that had the side posts.

I have many build sheets (Chevelle) dating back to early December '69 with the side post battery T60 option. Didn't matter which plant. Fair to say that Chevelle and Novas could be different however.

SS427,
Do you have any build sheets for Chevelles as early as my car (August) with the side post battery? How about any Camaro owners? How early were they available. Dealer installed option??

Ron,
The earliest T-60 option I have is on a September 24th built L-78 El Camino.

Dennis, What was the assembly date for your car? Before May, 1070? Ron

In '72 a Lemans or GTO with the 455 could get the C89 sealed, side post battery. They also had the following regular batteries with side terminals: R88, R88S, R88X, Y88, Y86,and R88W. I don't know if any of these battery codes applied to Chevelles.
