GallagherJ Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hey everybody, I have a 70 Monte built in Flint. What is the correct style battery? Side or Top post? It has a top post in it now with aftermarket battery ends, yuk Thanks Jack
70mcarlo Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 My Dad's new Flint-built '70 Monte had side-post terminals.
monte70car Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Being a Flint built car it's hard to say whats correct unless you have a build sheet. The side terminal battery is the heavy duty option. If the car is 100% original then i could see going for the original style battery.
70mcarlo Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Has anyone ever found a build-sheet in a Flint-built car? The side-post on my Dad's car probably was the heavy-duty option (Minnesota = COLD, especially back then).
ssmonte70 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I have a '70 Monte SS Flint built, no build sheet. I have not heard of anyone having a Flint build sheet, to my knowledge they just didn't exist. Troy
GallagherJ Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks for all the replies, I'll go with the heavy duty side post option as the car is pretty original Jack
