I just replaced my battery about 5 months ago with one my mechanic
recommended.  It is an AC Delco.  It is maintenance free and has extra
cold cranking amps for those cold days or if you left something on for a
little too long.  Anyway, according to my mechanic it has its own water
recurcullation (sp?) system that allows the water to keep flowing.  

My mechanic sold it to me for around $85, but normally sells them at
$95.  He said he wasn't in the business of making money off of
batteries.  Anyway it fits perfectly in my 1984 Coupe GT.

Hope that helps.
