Not sure which way you are going with your restoration but I can suggest using a modern day Group 24 maintenance-free battery and use a battery topper that makes it look "factory correct"
For 65 bux it looks great and does fool a lot of people,LOL

I didn't know something like that exist. Thanks for sharing it
I used a topper on one of my cars. Looks a lot better than having just the Walmart battery that I bought after my repro red cap battery went bad. Did have to modify the battery hold down to make the topper work with it, the toppers are a little too wide to use with stock hold downs.
