<VV> Early Batteries Again

[Frank DuVal]

No, Wal-Mart never ( well, around here they haven't been around since 
the 60s) carried a group 53 battery.

It is the group 51 that they carry (or did). This battery fits some 
Honda models and others. Some say a 51R is needed. Just look at the 
battery and make sure the posts are in the right place. Check clearance 
from the positive post to the engine prop with the lid closed. Modeling 
clay or similar will give you an idea of how close it is. You don't want 
the battery shorting out on the prop while driving on a bumpy road. 
Another good reason for the hold down hardware.

I've been getting mine from Costco.

>I remember a thread on early batteries a week or so ago, but didn't follow it closely because I didn't have an early at that time. Well, my youngest son now has a 64 that needs a battery. I thought I remember hearing that Walmart carried the 53 battery, but they didn't show it in their book at the store. What fits in the early battery box or where can I get an early battery? The car is a driver, so really don't care if it matches perfectly, just needs to function properly.
