To bad your on the other side of the state. I just installed a Sears Diehard P2 battery. It is rated for 75 amp hours. It's made by Odessey a repackaged PC1750. Better warranty on top of it. I did have to modify the battery cover so it doesn't drop right in. We could have knocked it out in a couple hours though. To get another Optima I would call the closest advance-autozone and have them locate the closest one. I seen Sears had a couple on their shelves. The yellow top is a common enough battery now that these places usually stock them. I will upload the pictures of my install tonight.
