Looking for a new battery for the Coronet so I can work on it tomorrow night and actually get it to run.
Car is a 1969 Coronet 440 Model with a 318 and a bone stock eletrical system from 1969 (aside from an added FM modulator).
It didn't come with a battery and the one I was given just gave up the ghost.
I need something that is going to last for a few years at least.
Currently thinking of getting this:
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...a-autocraft-gold_2130000-p?searchTerm=battery
Autocraft Gold Size 24 with 700 Cold Cranking Amps.
Getting it from Advance will mean that I can use a coupon on it and get it for a much better deal, plus theres one 3 minutes from where I work.
Out of pocket it looks like about $80 for a $110 battery since I have a core.
Anybody have opinions on that battery or suggestions on something better for the money?
What do you use for a battery, ie: what does it put out for CCA/what size is it?
Unfortunately I'm not ready to spend Optima prices on a battery right now, plus I've heard of issues with them recently.
Thanks!
