Re: Requesting Pictures Of Tops Of Original 1984-1986 Batteries
My May 83 Corvette had a white case battery. I used to go around local garages looking for discarded white case battery's in hope of making a fake look a like for my car. I have a couple of white case battery's here. Anyone wanting them can have them for free provided they pick them up. Or I could bring them to Carlisle.
I
The magic eye on that battery is in the opposite position of the service replacements. Decals is different also. 75-500
Some say that the white case battery is a replacement though. But the original owner of my 84 told me that when he bought the car new it had the white case battery.
I wrote an article for the Pittsburgh chapter on how to install the C4 battery (real pain).
Anyhow I gave the original battery away many years ago. I will have to ask Tom Barr about the details as he used to make a big fuss over the white case battery.
The service replacement 84 battery was black.
Now if you look in the GM literature you will see the white case battery for the 83's.
When Tom Barr and others were writing the C4 manual they had a GM book that showed a white case battery in the 83-84. Not the shop manual though. What's that book called???
Where Dr. Mike McCagh here. Doc has the original battery sitting underneath his neglected 7 mile Dec 83 car.
Anyone needing the decal for a C4 oil filter contact me as a friend has some.
Also although this isn't the place old JD here lost his pride and joy May 83 car. Was stolen by the ex. Yeah it's history. But meanwhile look in a future Driveline as I got a lot of NOS parts for 83-84.
The car road like crap and I couldn't get in and out of it but I still miss it.
