All 12 V VWs from our generation used Group 42 batteries. That includes
Beetles, busses, Type 3s, and Type 4s. Lately it seems that Group 42 has
been discontinued by some manufacturers, but I don't know what the
replacement is. I would check with your FLAPS and see what they list for a
'67-78 Beetle.
I believe there is a later Group that is about the same as a Group 42 except
that it has clamp-downs on the ends in addition to the sides. That MAY be a
Group 90.
I keep meaning to look into this, but I haven't so far. Let me know what you
find. I just checked the Interstate web site and found that they still list their
Group 42.
Has anyone else looked into this?
