$trainman Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Did my 72 350 auto come with side or top battery posts, and how can I tell if this stock 350 has 1.5 or 1.6 ratio rockers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangeba Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 My 71 350 NO A/C came with side mounts. I believe the side mount was a SS or big block thing starting in 1970 then went mainstream on all our cars in 71 and for many years thereafter. Many tow truck drivers didn't like the side mount because the heads of the bolts were so small their large jumper cables didn't stay on very well. BTW, mine are still original. Rockers (not sure but I think) 1.5 Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNA01374 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 72 402 with side mounts. Looks like original cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigmatic Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 72 350 with air has top mount and I think that it's the orignal...but not 100% positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 My 70 as far as I know came with a top mount battery and it was born with a 400 small block with a/c. Dad had a 70 Chevelle ss396 all original and it had a top mount battery no air. Our 70 El Camino was a 350 no air car and it looks to have came from the factory with a top mount battery as well. All three cars came out of the Maryland plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
