E150 starting battery?
'87 E150 302-
My old battery is shot. It was a Group 64 size. AFAIK that was the original batt size for it.
Nobody carries Group 64 anymore. I can't get one except as a "speciality" item from Napa, which is like $100.
Wal-Mart and Western Auto listed a Group 58 replacement- which is much shorter, like 1" narrower width, and 2" narrower length. And like 100 less CCA. This sucks, it doesn't even look safe to try to strap down a batt which clearly doesn't fit and I don't want to put in something with CCA far below original spec anyways.
I talked to The Battery Store, he brought up a Group 27, which is slightly wider than Group 64 but the specs are closer and it's a much bigger batt than the 58. Will it fit??
