Pep boys does have the battery, Group 24 fits up to 1968 when they
redesigned the heater box.
I do not know what series battery it is but I have bought them from Pepboys
several times. And yes the $29.95 specials.
Measure the area behind the heater (5"wide X ???) I forget but I do know
they stock the batterys, I believe it is the same as some Hondas.
Good luck
