Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / April 2005dumb battery question
on a '55 Stude, how are the terminals arranged on the battery? Was going to run to parts store with battery box to see if I could get anything 12V to fit the stock box, but I don't know if +ive goes toward the front or not. I ASSume it would actually go to the rear but don't know (I need new battery cables anyway; either way one of them is too short.) thx, nate  Signaturereplace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel Nate, if its converted to 12 volt, where is the starter solenoid??? IF its on the fender close to the firewall or on the firewall, the positive would be on that end wouldnt it?? AFAIK the terminals would always be close to engine. I just put a Optima 75/35 in my 64 Champ. Fit like a Champ! > on a '55 Stude, how are the terminals arranged on the battery?

Karl I think you should have the grounded terminal towards the front. That way, with the decreasing hood clearance toward the front, you get a bit of extra insurance if the hood should come in contact with the top of the battery. Tim You are correct, at least for 53-64 C/K's. > I think you should have the grounded terminal towards the front.

If you're replacing the cables anyway, and are not concerned with authenticity, why not go to a side terminal battery? No worries about the terminals then. > on a '55 Stude, how are the terminals arranged on the battery?
