Hey,
I've been slowly going through everything on my car, I ran into a problem finding a battery. I need a 24 f series battery that clamps on the bottom. I can't find a place that sells the battery with the lip on the bottom. I need advice from the Mercury enthusiast
I believe the battery size is 6.5 inches by 11"
I tried Sears, they have it but no lip on bottom to clamp too
Thanks,
Garch 65

I'd be shocked if East Penn "Deka" or the green ones didn't.

There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.

Thanks, I will check on that.
I also need an original dome light, I made the mistake of trying to push it on... ugh and I'm old enough to know better!

I used an adapter bracket NPD sells that allows you to use any 24F battery-

You can make your own.
It slides under the tray and you use a 1967 style over the top bracket with 2 side j-hooks. NPD sells those too. Total was less than $15
