what battery is same style as orginal?

[culp71]

so I find three battery's...

750 CCA 24 group green cap
750 CCA 24 group yellow cap
850 CCA 27 group red cap

which originally came on a 71 340/727 'cuda (shaker)
and what vendor has these "on hand" / "in stock"

[AARuFAST]

Green small block 6 and 318
Yellow 340
Red BB 383 440 426

[culp71]

alright, yellow it is, best place to get one from?

I've read from multiple sites that Group 27 Red Cap was optional 66-72...
I like the higher CCA and more reserve from the group 27
The battery tray is the same size for all engines so it fits if you want the extra 100CCA

Build sheet is the best way to insure the proper Group battery for the specific car. 

[culp71]

yah, if only I had that dang build sheet everything would be much easier.

I found this website a few weeks ago. It has a list of batteries for most years, models and engine size. Click on yours and you can order a reproduction.
