<VV> Re 1960 battery

[pat deghuee]

For my 1960 I went to my local FLAPS and bought a group 51R.  This is an everyday Civic battery that fits just fine and provides the required hood clearence.  Be sure that the terminals are on the correct sides and that the positive post will clear the hood. If not, use a group 51.( I use one in my '60 and the other in my '64 and don't remember which is which)  You probably don't want a battery with high CCA because theese batteries also like to be charged at a much higher rate then your poor generator ever thought of putting out.
