Time has come for a new battery for my 76. What can you recommend in the +\- $200 range?
The car will be driven 3-4 times a week around town. The new technology Is amazing but does it apply to a 45 year old car? Thanks! |

I've looked into this DieHard (AGM) battery; does require a small bit of edge triming off off the left and right side of the battery tray. Always been a DieHard fan, also use Optima Red as well.

This is now available in Group 96R, just a tad smaller and should be in a drop in replacement for the original Group 42. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/diehard...?source=certona |
