[Tigers] original appearance Lucas battery

[Will Seay]

The manifold is simple to make.  Use a length of surgical tubing.  Nick the
tubing at the 6 places that the tubing must go over the ball fitting atop
of each battery cap.  Attach the tubing (at the nick) over each of the
battery caps.  Plug the end of the tubing with a wooden dowel at the
battery end.  Run the other end through the grommet in the bottom of the
(Alpine) spare tire indent.  I think that the tubing and the dowell will be
about 3/8".  YMMV
