'88 5kcstq, dead battery now

[Lawrence C Leung]

Bought the same battery at Sam's Club for my 4KQ, now sold. Wasn't a
member of Sam's when I had to by the 200s.  (Actually the best deal I had
was when I bought the Champion type 41-2 battery (a 42 but smaller
capacity) for my GTi, which doesn't see winters. Got that battery from
Sam's for $18.95!
