Is it true that a acid/lead plate battery should be mounted horizontal?

I don't know, but I did mount my battery so the plates go front to back.

up That is the best way to avoid problems with a wet cell lead acid battery in mounting them up
But that only applies to hard leaving cars, not tire spinners whistling work

I hope moving the battery and the Viking DA shocks will help hook on marginal tracks. The best 60' for the 434 so far is 1.40, the 408 went 1.38 a bunch. It doesn't leave real hard, but not to bad for a street car. whistling

Yes it is. I know the deal about how it should be on the pass side but my cable was given to me and it was just a bit to short to put it on the right rear. So since its just a street car I put it in the left rear where I had enough cable to reach. And its worked fine there as for a mild street car it hooks fine and I just tweaked the torsion bars to keep the ride height level. Ron
