Yep..pre May 1969 would've gotten a Delco Y55 reverse polarity top post as standard.
Delco R69 top post was the optional extra cost.

Years ago at the first ever 427 Camaro special gathering in Michigan I had my just finished 06A Yenko. The crack judging staff gave me "0" as in Zero points for my battery, cable's, and tray because I was the only car there with a side post battery. I was docked for many items that day including painted door lock assemblies, painted trunk latch, the original flash chrome valve covers, and even got points taken on my YH rallye wheels, since I didn't have mags. I came away with the lowest scoring Yenko of the event. Those were the days ...BKH

There is more information on these cars today than back then.I'm sure the judges are more in tune with the cars today,or they shouldn't be judging.

Buying a Stainless Chambered setup tommorow. Nobody makes a alluminized system with polished tips. Time to break out the communion money,
