You probably don't want the blue top (aside from the color) as they are created for marine purposes. Red tops are made specifically for cars, yellow for those who have extra need or for weekend project cars.
If I remember correctly Pepboys might carry them.

Costco also carries some Optima batteries, decent price. Worth looking into

Autozone carries them too. But if costco carries them...FIND someone w/ a membership. it's probably worth your trouble.

ok never the optima.. it wont fit.. i need someone who can get me a reactor battery.. i have a moroso battery box in the truck and a reactor battery mount kit installed.. the optima is too wide to fit between the clamps.. and the only way to remove those clamps is to remove my gas tank.

Why can't you measure the dimensions of the battery box and go down to Sears and find a Die-Hard that'll fit?....

If its Moroso part# 74050 any group size 24 battery will fit...
BTW, it a 24 wont fint, it doesn't take that long to drop the tank....You probably only have to lower it a little to get to where you need.... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
