My battery is about ten years old and slow to crank these cold days.
Question, what group number is correct for the 64 GMC 305V6? Suggested cold cranking amps?
Looking at the battery from the front of the truck is the positive cable on the right or left? Does anyone have a picture depicting the correct cable routing?
While I am talking about cables how many ground cables exist between engine and frame and body and their locations?
Thanks in advance,
