Looks like this Y55 Heartbeat has on eBay would be correct other than it's missing the Energizer word also note the Delco isn't Yellow so it's not a service part or may be from a different year than noted?:hmmm:

Cheap solution even interim may be use a Y59 Topper and modify the +/- symbols to the opposite positions...easy to alter the - into a + w/ a hot screwdriver tip but you'd have to get more creative w/ the other one.

I have a Y55 which I pulled a fiberglass mold from so I could make some correct toppers for 69 Z28's...

I've thought about doing that. Only thing holding me back is whether Y59 is molded into it or not. Would be tough to remove the 9 and replace with a 5. If it were a decal that makes things easier.

When you get some made put me on the list, I'd like to buy one.

What color are the caps on a Y55? I thought yellow?

Y55's were yellow and less cranking amps than red R59's but more than green which was the lowest...Y= Yellow and R= Red?:hmmm:
Looks like decals only on top of the Y55 also R59 topper as pics below...ask for extra Y59 decals when you order the topper to cut a second 5 from and stick over the 9?
Ok for a pseudo Y55 topper but are the case dimensions actually slightly different also ctr. to ctr. of the posts?

Thanks Pete,

I didn't think a Y-59 topper was available so I was thinking of using an R-59 you have pictured, and doctor it up like a Y-55.

I sensed you meant a Y-59 is available since you mentioned getting another set of Y-59 decals?

'

Sorry, I meant R59 also in the previous post and don't think anything Y59 is available?
And the second 5 decal won't help w/o the Y anyway so best peel it off.
Best of luck and please post the result if you do it.

Okay understood, thanks Pete. I thought that's what you meant but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something somewhere.

I'll grab an R59 and play with it and see how it comes out.

Even without a decal, at least with the proper colors and reverse the +/- it at least will look the part.

Edit: I think with a good picture of the original decal of the Y55, being the computer genius my wife is, I could enlist my wife to print something off that would be close and maybe complete the look.

Y59 was never used in a Camaro. It was R59.
