Topic: Stock 32 battery question


Engine24    -- 10-18-2017 @ 8:52 AM
  I believe I may need a new battery
My horn only humms instead of a full blow
Also
Weak starting unless on trickle charge
Battery a few years old



Will any 6 volt battery replace the battery in my original 32?

Thanks

  When you indicate 'stock' I am assuming that your car has the original carrier for the battery. You will restricted to a battery no larger than can fit in the carrier. The other restraint is the height as the battery must fit below the floorboard. NAPA carries a 6 volt battery that will fit within those restraints.

The original battery was 7 1/8" x 9 3/16" (width) x 7 13/16" (height). The NAPA battery is slightly higher than the original, but still fits beneath the floor board.

  Yes. The battery is housed under the floor

Thank you for that very useful information!
