I'm not absolutely sure but I believe the side terminals started in May. I'm sure someone else will chime in with the exact details.

The side post battery was introduced around March of 1969. Have seen a few original February cars with side post battery's. Your car could be correct.

All three of my 69 Camaro's have the top post batteries, with the latest build date of 02A.

My 70 Nova, 09A build, uses a side post battery. Being such an early build, several parts on my car are from the 69 production year.

Didn't the heavy duty R-89 battery still use the top posts even after the standard battery went to side terminals?
