I'm using an Optima Red Red 75/35, Model 12853. Weighs in just under 40lbs.
Has terminals on side and top. I'm using the top; they clear the hood just
fine. Here's a pic of the same battery in Leigh Brook's '69 2000 (aka
"Zippy"):

Subject: Optima or Odyssey Battery for a 69 2000
Hi Everyone,
I am planning on purchasing a Optima or Odyssey battery this week. RWM
shared he purchased a 51R. I believe this model has reverse poles. Is this
required on our Roadsters?
I am concerned about battery size, weight, and cold cranking. Some of the
larger Optima batteries weight 50lbs ! Gee how much did our original
batteries weight?
Please share what Optima or Odyssey battery model worked for you.
Thanks !
