1934 Pontiac Battery

[JIM STOTESBERY]

I bought a 1934 Pontiac, 4dr. sedan, with just 9000 mile on it !

 

I have to go down to Iowa, and get it up here to Wisconsin, in the Spring .

 

My question; the original battery was a Delco 7 G-W ?  107 Amp Hour, 17 plates .

 

I have Not been able to measure the battery box, yet, for size .

 

In the USA, we use CCA, a lot of the would still uses Amp. Hour . There is really no connection between the two, other that some formula, like Ah X 7.25 = CCA, and I do Not think that is too accurate !

 

What size/capacity battery are 1934 Pontiac owners, using ?

They used a Group 1   6 volt.  I have an Optima in mine, have to lean it to make it fit.  I live in Iowa, what town did you find the car in?

[JIM STOTESBERY]

It was found in La Clair, Ia., where Mike and Frank ( American Pickers ), 1st location is; they did Not know it was there !

My two Cusins and my Uncle bought it in 1967, from the original owner; been siting in a garage, in DeWitt, Ia, all that time !

 

They also bought, a Parts car, so I get all of those pieces, too .
