[T3] Battery Type- 063?

[Dave Hall]

The 45Ah was generally specified for the FI, and the 36Ah for the carbed.
The extra capacity won't hurt, and the cost is probably not much different.
I've a 45Ah in my twin-carb - it seems to go on for ever.

Subject: [T3] Battery Type- 063?

Hi, my battery is failing and I'm looking for a replacement, but what type
should it be?
The one in there is a 36Ah Bosch, model no 536 046 030, but I can't find
another anywhere.
The 063 type seems to be a very popular battery and has the same dimensions,
but has larger capacity up to 45Ah.
Can I use one of these? Would it fit? Would the extra capacity be a
problem- I'd have thought it an advantage?
Car's a '73 carbed fastback.
Thanks,
Mark
