That 350/300 w/AC was an R-59 normally..but it coulda come with the extra cost R-59<span style="font-weight: bold">S</span> too,if special ordered with an optional T-60 Heavy Duty battery.
R-59 had 335cca..R-59<span style="font-weight: bold">S</span> had 410cca.

Rick - you should change your "handle" to Mr69-70! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

My 69 Malibu 350/300hp auto ac car shows an R69 on the build sheet. Did they even make that battery?
