Wayne: I've been surfing the net for that site but have been able to connect. Any other clues would be appreciated. I did find a site for tar-topper 12-Volt Optima battery covers, though, at: http://www.tartopper.com/ C-300'ly Rich Barber Brentwood, CA -----Original Message----- From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Wayne Graefen Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 6:35 PM To: cotejohnr@xxxxxxx; awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx; Lettercars@xxxxxxx; c300@xxxxxxx; ram300@xxxxxxxxxx; daverg1@xxxxxxxxxxx; rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx; Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; longrams@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] Replacement Battery There is a Packard parts supply company that makes a hard rubber 6V case that holds the Optima battery within it that makes it look just like a tar top.

I thought I saw a dry/gel encased in a regular looking battery so it has the benefits of the Optima type and appearance of a regular wet cell.

Just changed my order with Antique Auto Battery to a G27 Willard. Please note that they normally make G24s in Willard but they can and will make up the G27 in a Willard model with red caps for 1960 with the same arrangement of terminals as the Mopar battery.

(Autolite is spelled that way, but we don't think it was so on the battery!! Maybe I better recheck the "Fun with Hyphens" book, eh Wayne?) Mopar is never mentioned in the AMA specs until 1963. Sooooo it seems like the most authentic battery available now is the Willard for our 300Fs. 300ly, Gil [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm Yahoo!
