[s-cars] Optima Battery- What Model ?

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Guys,
Get the red top and install it backwards.
That's what I, er, um, I made Matt Russell do back
when he was still on the Right Coast.
All I, I mean he, had to do was cut the cables
slightly (measure twice, cut once) to allow the right
to be on the left and vice versa.  I can take pictures
and post them if someone likes, but that would require
me getting off my fat Eye-talian ass.

No problems to date, only solid 3 crank starts and no
fires yet, so if that's "monkey boy-in' it", call me a
gorilla (or call Matt a pipe smoking chimpanzee)
