Muahahhaha. I bought a 1100 amp (1000 cold cranking) battery from Fleet Farm (98% of you dont know what that store is except probably us upper northwest people
I had a problem with the battery mounting kit that I bought that put a nice ding in my hood. At first I thought it was the old batterys negative terminal that was hitting, but I looked more closely, and I had to hacksaw off about a good inch and a half of the most forward threaded L bolt. Worked like a charm....just wish I would have paid more attention before I closed the hood. |
