Topic: 6 volt Optima battery Model for 1936 Ford

  Hi,
I want to buy a 6 volt battery for my restoration but the NAPA counterman insists that there is no Optima that will fit the car.
I know that some of you have done this. I also know that I will have to fit it unconventionally but that is OK.
Please tell me the Optima MODEL NUMBER that will fit ?
Thank you, Bruce

  Optima 6v Red Top. Don’t trouble yourself conversing with the pimple face at Napa, just buy it. There is only one 6v Optima.

  Thank you, Alan. Sadly its a 50-60 year old man who's bought into the code number thing or else leave the job mentality
