MC-71 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Trying to make a decision on a new AC Delco Battery. I used to buy the 78-5YR but seems to be discontinued. I'm looking at a AC Delco 78-AGM. Price is from 156.00 to 300.00 bucks. What the heck is up with these prices? Tires up, wheels up. so glad I did my resto years ago. Give me some AC Delco numbers if you guys have them.

Rob Peters Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hi Carl, I am not sure if you are looking for an original looking reproduction style of battery or just a battery to put into your car to start it. I purchased an original looking style of battery for my Monte. Everything looks completely original but is a maintenance free battery but has "non-functioning" battery fill caps, including the viewing lens in one of the caps. Here is the address and phone number: https://www.yelp.com/biz/new-castle-battery-mfg-new-castle-2 rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bell Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 New Castle Battery got out of the restoration battery business years ago and is now named DuBois Electric Storage Battery. And Restoration Battery has decided to permanently close. I think this company can still help: http://www.antiqueautobattery.com/batteries.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks. Not looking for the original battery. Just the series 78. I would prefer a AC Delco battery. I have the battery topper I will put on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
