Since the OP had a "66 Buick Delco", it doesn't seem that an original appearance is an important factor.
Yes, Slotblog, sometimes we have to sacrifice "originality", in order to have a trouble free & safe car. DON'T want to "CHUG" it in traffic & be going, RRRR---RRRR---RRRR, cuz yo' BATTERY'S not up to "SNUFF"
Ran out of gas in Minerva & with a 5 year old battery, "STARTERED" her in LOW, then SECOND, & a little bit in HIGH & pulled her right up to the "HIGH OCTANE" pump NO ATTENDANT, shucks, I wanted to say, "FILL'ER UP, CAREFULLY"!!!!
