Was there a correct battery for the 52 Ford or did any 6v suffice.

I believe they used a Ford script battery. If you are a V-8 Club member use yuour roster and contact Ray Beebe in New York. He has a lot of knowledge about the 52-53 cars. If Ray cannot be reached contact Craig Gorris in Ohio. He is working on a book about the 52-53 Fords.

They did use scrip batteries in several different sizes. Someone who knows more than I will have to tell you which, although either one would probably be correct. The parts book doesn't list batteries by code, i.e., 1, 2, etc. It only lists them by description (color and Ford logo), dimensions and rating. I can give you that if that's what you want. Richard

Richard, your information would be helpful, I have several brochures and a repair manual but the info from a parts manual would be great.

The size number is 2HF. As is often suggested here, you might consider an Optima battery, It is ideal for old cars, with high "cold cranking" amps, and will stay charged almost indefinitely. The only caveat is not to charge them with over seven amps. Many chargers, particularly cheap ones, exceed that rating.

Here's the parts manual list of batteries: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg264/rcrispd/carbatteries.jpg You'll have to enlarge it to read it. Richard This message was edited by 51f1 on 2-7-11 @ 6:33 PM
