Post by: Rex on November 23, 2023, 08:29:55 PM
Is there any place other than Battery Central Mall to get an AGM OEM style battery?

No one makes an original style battery for 67's Guess your asking about the 68-up Autolite reproduction battery?

The main large thread on the subject to try and explain the differences

Actually no, not for my 67 GT500. I have a very nice original 70 Boss 302 that I like to keep the OEM looking battery in.

Some Boss 302's came with a group 22 battery. If yours came with a group 24 then the current repro battery is very close in appearance to assemblyline. You can make it closer by getting a more correct date coded sticker to add from ECS.  https://ecsauto.com/    I would try Virginia Classic Mustang for the battery. I recently got a email saying that they got their last 2023 allotment.
