[FC] battery

[Bryan Blackwell]

The 53 is what Chevy put in the FCs (and 1st gen Corvairs), but the 51R is a commonly available battery that was used in Honda Civics up through 1990 or so.  It is shorter and a tiny bit wider than a 53, when loading it into the battery box leave the terminal caps on to avoid shorting out the posts.
