65 Battery Replacement

[Mike W.]

I'm needing to replace the Interstate battery in my 65 Big Block. Does anyone know which GM replacement battery would be best for judging purposes? I've heard the reproductions lack in quality. Thanks

AC Delco with top terminals only.

Mike, the current Delco 24 replacement battery doesn't fit the midyear battery hold down, it has A few handles that bow outward, the hold down doesn't fit over the top, they can be hack sawed off if you want to( not crazy about that). If your car is not going to be judged I would stay with another interstate. I don't think the Delco Batteries are of the quality they use to be.
