67 390 battery?
« on: May 06, 2012, 12:55:28 PM »
I'm finding conflicting information, which battery came in the 67 390 the 24f or the 27f, if it's the 27f I'm in luck because a friend just gave me a new autolite,

Well you don't have the luck of the Irish. your 27F info provider is misinformed. 24 f is what the 390 or even 428 (if Shelby) would gotten in 67 . FYI same goes for 68.  69 is when the Mustang got the 27 F.  If you are going concours unfortunatly the only battery available for your 67 is a copy of the 68-70 24F assemblyline Battery. I provided a picture of each for comparison. 67 is on the right.The base battery had yellow caps in 67 and the heavy duty had the red caps.

Fortunatly for you the 24 F red capped battery like in my picture to the left. It is what the repro battery was copied after.
