[Roadsters] Need advice for replacing an old battery

[Mike Harper]

I too switched from my group 53 reluctantly a few years ago, but since I had
gone with a GM Alt and a Boone dizzy, I figured originality was kind of
compromised anyway.  I kept the last battery box however because someday if I
want to be "original" I can have a small battery placed inside the old box and
be back in the '60's again!
