Thanks for your reply I have seen many photos on different cars with battery in both positions ,with the positive terminal towards the starter motor Regards Ted Title: Re: Battery position Post by: hsv-001 on February 10, 2014, 08:00:57 AM The original battery bracket has a steel clip welded to it to carry the negative lead.

Title: Re: Battery position Post by: mcl1959 on February 10, 2014, 05:14:40 PM Ted check out original photos of period cars for the correct information. Batteries from other cars have different pole diameters and positions and can be adapted to fit with creativity. Correct original position is with poles towards the retainer.
