so today was kinda failure. i did how ever take the GXP out like i said. took it out after supper and let my brother drive her for about 15 mins and he enjoyed that and then rolled her into the shop and onto the hoist. cleaned up the rims and now starting to second guess myself on whether or not i wanna plastidip them. i bought the dip today too. looked under the car for a little bit and see that the tips are welded on so idk how i'm gonna be able to polish them real good and then me and my brother tag teamed taking the battery out which wasn't terrible and tomorrow i'll put in a new one.

This is what was on there a few months ago and i then replaced it with the one in the pic above. Probably going to put on new cables sometime in the near future.
so much corrosion

no one in my home town has a damn 25 group battery so napa will have one on tuesday morning so i guess i get to have the car in the shop till then. i still need to paint some engine rails and dip some wheels and other stuff. probably should drop the tranny pan right away.

03-09-2013

34 is not the OE battery.
34 larger compared to the factory battery.
Don't know why its so small.
But heres a link to the AC delco catalog, have a looksie in there.
ACDelco Parts
34:
34 10.30 6.80 7.90
85:
being group number,
85 9.10 6.80 8.00
L" W" H"
Also that battery tray is covered in acid.
Wash it down and perhaps scrub with baking soda mixed with water. Otherwise it will accelerate corrosion.

I just put a bunch of soda with water and got it all cleaned up and rinsed off and good. and i do see that 85 is the one for the GXP.. hmm.. looks like i'll be calling places around tomorrow to see if they have an 85....

Honestly if you have room for a 34, that's what I'd put in there.
They tend to have higher capacity, and you'll be able to find one right away.
03-09-2013
i'll probably just put in the 85.. it was a pita to get out and not looking forward to putting this one in.
