I bought a Ever Start from Wally World (made by Johnson Controls) and put on a sticker and cap kit.

Buy a quality black battery, and add the caps and stickers to it.

Nobody even thinks twice and most really are amazed I got a 60 year old battery to look this good lol!

Got a 100 point car? You better get crafty then if they don't make repops.

The repops are available.
The case is correct. Inside the case is an Odyssey AGM battery.
If it goes bad out of warranty, you can cut the bottom open and replace the AGM.

A friend did something similar. He found a original okd green top. Drained out the acid, cut open the bottom and put a riding lawn mower battery inside.

I don’t care. I like the just like most folks are just happy to see the representation of the car, the battery, what ever. The average person is not a “concourse judge.”

I see both yellow and green top ones for a '66 model. What determines which one is correct?

According to the Galen book.

It all depended because green is for a certain CCA BUT if you had HD option for like to towing a trailer (which was not a big thing back then BUT up and coming. Camping travel trailers we’re starting to become more popular. Anyhow, you could get a larger battery for towing and cold weather climates. I went yellow because green in a silver and red car may not look good. Lol!

I went yellow because I thought that looked best under the hood of my car
