I tend to go for 800-850 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) for my 1960-73 Imperials, but they have the same engine for the most part. Yours may be different, but I doubt it. Take a look at your yellow pages. There are places that do batteries only. They will be the ones that will tell you both the correct capacity and the correct post placement (+/-) The one that I use supplies the SF Airport with batteries for their fleets, and the one that's correct for 60's imperials is the one that the trucks use. If some cat leaves headlights on or some such, Peninsula Battery Co. just replaces it. They sell the used ones for $22 each, and I've had 10 or so and only one was problematic. They took it back without a receipt and threw another one at me. That's one way to make a problem go away. If the place is clean, well run, and the folks seem reputable (bettery places aren't always so), a used one might be a nice way to scrimp on some $$.
