nearchoclatetown Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Measure your box and get the largest that will fit. I use Group 24's because they fit some of my other cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Yes, any top post 12V battery should work. The box is large so no need to skimp on battery size. You may want to check what polarity it is running now (is positive post going to ground or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinneyhill Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 The other thing to check is which pole is at which end. Some batteries are made "handed", with the poles on opposite sides. Then get the right one. The leads are probably set up for one type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 1917 is negative ground. Didn't go to positive ground until '22 when the horn button was placed on the steering wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
