What to do for a correct BATTERY

[RocketsGarage]

What's a guy to do these days for a correct looking battery? New Castle Battery is gone, Restoration Battery is closed up & I can't through to Antique Auto Battery (Out of Business?). Any one have any other ideas on how to put together a factory looking Battery Job on a 1955 that's converted to 12V? Power Punch 2N.

Do they make them for Fords, especially a 29NF (Tbird battery)

Here is a source of one style- https://www.dearbornclassics.com/autolite-battery-top-cover.html

You would have to search for differing series and POWER PUNCH.

Not necessarily "correct" looking but it has been fantastic in my Edsel. The car sat since July. Just started it and moved it with no issues. It allowed me to crank it long enough to pull gas up. Far superior to the NAPA unit I initially put in the car.


It is a Duralast from Batteries Plus, part # 1SL129NF. The long description on the invoice is 12V 29NF 429NF, 29NF-40. $116.00, it is a lead/acid.
