I'm trying to find out what replacement battery (24 or 27) and what color caps would have come originally on my 1970 Cuda 340. Any recommendation of where to buy? Thanks!

They would be yellow caps. The resto batteries seem to have been discontinued. The last 2 or 3 I have purchased have only lasted about 2 years. I got sick of paying the big bucks for the stock look so I gutted the resto battery and hid a lightweight racing battery inside of it.

How do you like the Odessey battery, any problems?
I am considering one for a different project...

Works great so far. I think this summer will be 5 years I will be going on this conversion. In fact just started it up on Saturday to back out of the garage so I could get to something else up on the shelves & after sitting all winter it fired right up.
