Couldn't have said it better Ed

Also the official Reproductions do not have the Helm order form at the rear.

[Yeah and you can easily paint it the original color and have correct Z stripes. All it takes is talent and cash.]

Yeah you can pick up side post battery cables at any auto parts place such as AutoZone or Nappa.

So much - so wrong

You can go with current GM cables as well.

[Gary - Right now there is only one size of side cables in use for new and reproduction batteries. ONLY the original factory and short run service batteries used the two different sizes. Sometime in the mid to late seventies the standard was changed to the current same bolt size both terminals.There are guys here who are still running the original two sized bolts and they have to tap and Die the odd terminal to accept the larger bolt on the original cable. Too much work and I'm not drilling into the side of an acid filled battery.As a side note - My Z-11 came to me with side post gm cables dated Feb 1980 and a side post Delco battery. The cables are both the same size bolt. I just assume somewhere down the line the Chevrolet dealership swapped over to side - My build date is 03B which I think is too soon for the change over at Norwood but maybe not? But I assumed it came out of Norwood with top post battery option.I bought a Delco Freedom in 1984 for her. Last year I replaced that same "Maintenance Free" Delco Freedom - Yeah it lasted that long but then again I pried off the caps as back then they weren't glued shut and kept it topped off with distilled water.I searched high and low and got caught in the selector trap and could only find expensive dual post offerings. I got smart and shopped by physical size and cold cranking amps - then I discovered the trap. "The Selector Trap" for 1969 Camaro owners: All the majors (Sears, AutoZone, Delco, National etc) have set their product finders for the 1969 Camaro to select dual post because of the switch over from top to side just to limit the returns for wrong terminals - one would think they would list #xxxxx for top and #zzzzzz for side post but no. So either X out of any "help me find the right battery" or "enter your vehicle information" scripts or pop ups, or lie and say 1968 if you want top post, 1970 if you want side post I purchased a DuraLast Gold 78-DLG - It's specs are 800 Cold Cranking Amps, 1000 Cold Cranking Amps at 32 degrees with a reserve of 110 amps. Wasn't too expensive either well under 100 bucks with in store 20 buck coupon.Here is the link to what I bought Gary:http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/_/N-5yc1s?itemIdentifier=53436]

[Well Terry I think 1972 was the turning point for Fisher using squared switches for power windows on all divisions. But the change over began in the 1970 model year I think with Cadillac and Olds first then Buick and Chevrolet the year after, so that dates them as anytime before 70. The production date of 69 would be okay then if the switches are original to the regulators. 68-76 Chevrolet Division, Corvette line, Fisher Power Windows Regulator GM P/N 9676096.]

Hey guys, I've been trying to find the part number for an AC Delco side post battery for my Z and can't seem to find anything except top post and the dual top and side post. Is there a side post only battery or am I going to be stuck with the dual or a top only?

1107596 seems to be in wide use starting in 1980 on up for all GM divisions, and on several marine and tractor applications.

The purge was an electronic process of the existing database(s), in which the names and addresses were deleted, and the new database that process created made available to the public. The only difference between the existing NICB database and the national version is that NICB can still see names and addresses as well as police case theft and recovery data which is not in the public database.

Paper records do pop-up from time to time but are rare and again usually they have survived because the vehicle(s) was/were stolen, by an target of a task force, more then likely chopped for parts, or exported overseas etc and was part of an investigation, or special statistical and training project and therefore were protected. The majority of the original paper trails are long gone and if they were never transferred to microfiche but as with most of American archives of the late 60's early 70's statistics were just extracted and loaded first on IBM punch cards then computer tape storage the original paper was considered redundant or obsolete and either destroyed or stuffed away and were never maintained with any preventative care. As the years passed by the acid based paper lacking the protection of a true climate controlled dry storage archival center, but more than likely just left in bankers boxes in some unheated warehouse to be forgotten, would fade and yellow out crumble and flake if not already eaten up by critters, bugs and mold.

Our only real hope would to have GM find a long lost and assumed forgotten and destroyed cache of Norwood assembly records. Unlikely as the factory and the majority of the buildings are gone now, and GM divesting itself of real-estate and facilities during bankruptcy. Still hold out hope that maybe in a non owned GM building, or storage bunker, or basement or attic most likely in the Norwood area something exists that someone authorized or not authorized "took" home with them.
