1978 pace car battery for NCRS judging

[Thomas J.]

What AC Delco battery should I purchase for my 78 pace car, that I will be showing in NCRS very soon?
I know that the original 89-5 battery is long out of production.
I was told that the current 78PS from AC delco is the replacement.
As a side note, there is an AC Delco 78AGM with a white case available. (and i have located a "topper" in blue :with Freedom logo.)

The bottom line, is that I want to buy what ever costs me the least amount of deductions.

Thanks everyone!
Tom

That ACDelco is the same as other brands, only the sticker is changed.
And, its gray rather than white.
I think it would get just the standard AC battery deduction.

For those requiring any version of the Freedom battery there isn't much available.
