Well I gave it to a mechanic that thought the wax plugs should have been pulled out rather than pushed in and cracked one of the fill holes on the top. Oh well guess I am going with a reproduction R89.

Back in the day we used to use the Delco Eye cap and just hit it with palm of your hand and knock the plugs in,

The reproduction battery tops are not the same as originals(they take a 30% deduct in NCRS), they show divisions between the cells in the actual molded plastic. If one of the holes is cracked then just gut the battery and put a braille inside of it... I had considered just gutting mine before putting acid in it, but then numerous people said I should just use the battery until it stops working then gut it and put a braille inside of it... so it's now been working great for over a year. https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=148133

Either way, they extend the life of a battery and can revive them as well. Tim |

I ordered the new reproduction battery R89 from battery central Mall.
Bothers me to be using it in my 30K mile survivor Z28 but still gives the appearance I like. Hey if after 50 years the battery is the only reproduction part under the hood, Iam happy with that. If Anyone would like to view my car google MCACN 2018 the mike wheatley Z28. Love this car and after 50 years it still runs and drives unbelievable. |
