Correct Battery for 80 model

[Bryan W.]

Can anyone suggest where I can shop for an AC Delco "Freedom" battery with the correct CCA for my 1980 model?
The best I have found here in Australia with AC Delco has a CCA of 615 and not a "Freedom" sticker in sight!!

I don't think you'll find a correct battery in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, or anywhere else, for that matter. These batteries are no longer made in original configuration and branding. The best you can do these days is a Delco battery of whatever models are currently available.

Thanks for the reply Joe, I feared that may be the case. Does anyone have an AC Delco "Delco Freedom" sticker that also reads 465CCA?
Or a picture of one that I could get a sticker made up from? I really don't want to suffer more than the 10 point deduction!

Bryan !

I am a saver of everything and just happen to have an original 80 battery. Here's a couple of pictures you might find handy. The spec label measures 5" x nearly 1 3/ 4"

Thanks for the quality photos Tom. I have a mint 80 manual with only 3500 miles on it and will do all I can for a correct battery, but if my attempts to find a battery fail I will now at least be able to make it look rightish. Thank You again.
