Class 72 with 650CCA (cold cranking amps) serves me well.

Yes, there is something about AC Delco batteries that sets them aside from others. But I do not know what it is. I went through two other brands before I went with this one. It has never failed me in six years despite five months of winter storage and only monthly trickle charges. I recommend it highly.

I am a firm believer in the Sears DieHard Gold. Advertises 1000 CCA's and I've never had any trouble with one. In 85 I built a 327 with 12:1 cr and the Chevy 151 cam.Went to a local autoparts store for a battery. It wouldn't even turn it over with jumpers.. Braught it back,got another,same thing. He tested it and it was fine. I got my money back,went to Sears,and baught a DieHard. Cranked right over without even a jumpstart. Sold me.

:iagree: This is what I have. Only time it put me down was when my alternator quit charging it.
