Battery Upgrade - 1963 Imperial

[UGW]

Never once did I blame the gas or a factory style starter for the problem.

Fair enough. I haven't had the car long enough to know what's normal, nor have I owned anything this old before. I figured I'd start with the easy stuff first, and a battery is about as easy as it gets.

Current battery is a no-name 27, but only marked 550CCA. If you guys are running 800+, I imagine that would help.

IN WA and CA Walmart has longer warranty than Costco and the part stores
I've also used group 65 in my 73 NY and 69 Polara
Use 24 in my dakota, chev PU, Nissan Quest and Honda and Subaru Honda and Subaru come with JUNK batteries
Get a trickle charger and I like that precharge fuel pump idea
I also like Dakota type starters over the built up OEM big Mopar starters (new coils etc) and 6v size wires
