Battery for "74 TCS

(1/1)

Bud:
Can anyone tell me what Battery I should be using in my car as I am about to buy one and drop it in for the first time. My parts store doesn't seem to have one that is compatible
Thanx

BDA:
The battery specification in the workshop manual is obsolete but I was lucky enough to encounter a guy at the parts counter old enough to translate to a modern specification. I use a Group 51R. I don't know if they use the same battery group but you could also just get a Miata battery. Some of us use AGM batteries and the Odyssey PC680 is the usual choice.

Bud:
Wonderful and thanx for the info...will buy one tomorrow

Clifton:
The easiest, smallest, lightest drop in would be the Miata one BDA mentioned. They are AGM too. Plenty of power.
