[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 6118479, member: 9628"] To some people buying these cars, at least an original core Motorcraft battery is a "plus" at sale time. It can be installed at a judged show, and replaced when it is time to leave, however, I think a correct replacement is of equal value to MCA judge. I agree that at least a correct replacement should be used if you are at all interested in a "correct look". I did some checking around a couple of years ago on getting original cores redone. It seems the companies who were doing this "rebuild" of original batteries are quickly being put out of business by the EPA, there were facilities in Tampa and Orlando that did battery rebuilds 5 years ago, they no longer do this because of EPA regulations. I have seen Autolite batteries, screw-on caps and all, just like the vintage Fords used, but they are reproduction "new" batteries, not originals that have been rebuilt. R [/QUOTE]
