[DeTomaso] Battery Size

[Joe Jaffoni]

Thanks for the replies - The 1" difference in height between the Group 27
(9" high) and Group 34 (7.9" high) should provide the clearance I need...I
am not sure though if the stock Pantera battery hold down, which works
perfectly for the 12.5" wide Group 27 battery, will work on the Group 34's
10.3" length...(I can just take the top hold down piece with me to the
battery store)

   I purchased an Exide group size 27 battery for my 72 Pantera - It fits
   well in the battery location in the front trunk and works with the
   stock hold down but seems too tall as when I close the hood, the hood
   is raised in the area in front of the windshield on the passenger
   side.A  The measurements of the battery I purchased are: Height: 9",
   Width: 12.5" and Depth 6.81"
   What is the proper size battery for a Pantera? I'm looking for a
   standard battery, not Optima, etc.A
   Thank you
