The Flathead powered '40 needs a new battery. Prior caretaker converted it to 12V, so I will leave it that way. Looking for battery suggestions. Not interested in Optima or Interstate period.
I understand that Decca in PA makes the majority of batteries. It needs to fit in the stock '40 battery box, so the firewall clamp hits the top. The negative terminal needs to be forward on the engine side and the positive back at the firewall on the same side. That works for my Cole Hersee Master battery switch, and it needs to be black. Thank you Fordbarners.
