Hello Harry, Whenever I need a battery for any of my cars I get an Interstate battery. They have a good reputation in my home town and lots of people buy them just for that. They are one of the most expensive aftermarket batteries avialable though. I go to the local Interstate distributer and ask them if they have any "Blems." These are the scratch and dents of batteries. They sell them at a reduced price, but they come with the same warranty. The last time I went to get a battery they didn't have my exact type but I got the biggest one that would fit in my `73 bus. The only thing wrong with the battery was that one of the terminals had a chunk taken out of it. It works great even thought the terminals are on the wrong side of the battery. I also had a friend run one down totally (alternator went) and he left it on the side of the road. He told me about it 4 days later and I picked it up, charged it, and it's running in the bus right now. I'm not sure about how long it will last, but it was free.
