Re: Optima battery holdown?

Re: Optima battery holdown?
Steve, on one of my posts on that same thread, my center picture shows the hold down that I used on both projections on the base of the battery. It's pretty simplistic, but works well.

Re: Identify wide Crab Dist. Cap

Re: 1938 Ford Standard Coupe
I remember those Warshawsky catalogs very well, even though I wasn't much of a kid in the 70's. I may still even have a copy squirreled away some where, maybe in my antique catalog collection. :D
