Re: Side Post Battery
Rick/Anyone,
What do you know about the battery offered by Year One? Their P/N HD89 says "All 1970 models and 1971-71 454 models with the T60 heavy-duty battery option. This battery has side terminals rated at 760 CCA and 950 CA. It is a reproduction of the R89W heavy-duty (Group 74) battery available in many models during the early 1970s. The battery features the correct "elephant hide" textured case and the "eye caps" for viewing the fluid level." Has anyone seen or tried this piece? No mention of the thread size for the negative terminal. Dennis

Thats the Reproduction Battery sold to them from Newcastle. I believe either NewCastle or Antique Battery is the only one licensed to make it,then all the aftermarket houses buy it from them,at cost and charge what they will. They sell you the R-79 decal and it becomes a 1970 battery. They sell you the R-89 decal,and it stays the 1971 R-89 battery. They all get the eye caps std. This will not have the different size terminal bolts.to expesive for them to make. I think you will have to settle for the R-89,no matter what.Shop around and find the best price,they are all coming from the same Factory...

Re: Side Post Battery
Here is the C-89 sealed, side post battery available in the Lemans and GTO in 1972. Did the Chevelles use it?
