[Spridgets] Tar Top Battery Refurbishment

[Kitterer Bob]

Doug,

Do you have or want a concours car or just like the ideal of an  
original type battery?    If none of these apply I would suggest a  
modern sealed battery.  Preferably one with a tube vent to get the  
acid vapors out of the engine compartment or a complete sealed gell  
cell unit.  I can look up the first one because that is what I am  
using and am sure someone else on the list can help with the later -  
which most likely I misspelled.
