freedom battery
just finishing a restoration of a COPO camaro and understand that with my build date of June, a freedom side post battery and cables should be installed , the only situation a top post style would be used is if the HD 63 Amp. alternator option selected.
Does anyone have info on this topic and/or where to source these, i'm tryting my local GM dealer as it said in a previous post that GM had not licenced the battery out to anyone |
Re: freedom battery
Not exactly.
K79 [42 amp] and K85 [63 amp] alternators were not available with mechanical lifter engines. If the car was built with the T60 heavy-duty battery it would have been a top-post. |
Re: freedom battery
ok, it doesn't have the U60 option listed on the GM of Canada documents so that means side post as i read in the McNeish book?

Re: freedom battery
Correct. It would have been built with a Delco R79 side-terminal battery.

Re: freedom battery
William is correct . The correct battery is an R79 Delco Energizer. I was under the impression that Freedom Batteries were introduced in 1976?
Here's what the correct battery for your COPO looks like. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...8090053648.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...8090087497.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...8090136284.jpg |
