No 100 point car here, nor want to be but if I must buy - get correct or as
close to correct as dollars will allow - buy correct if at all possible. The
Lucas battery dollars does not allow.
I did not know if MotorCraft batteries are acceptable to judges just as
MotorCraft oil filters are. If so then I will buy MotorCraft as opposed to
Interstate which I have used most of my life with little to no complaints. I
have a Interstate (1) 12 V battery in my 73 MGB, original owner, as opposed to
2 - 6 volt Lucas batteries.
As always, seriously, thanks for your input. I always value every ones
thoughts\opinions.

If your building a 100 point dead stock Tiger; then you need a Lucas
battery with the breather hose.
If your not building a 100 point Tiger put in the best battery available to
you.

# of strands seems to be a factor - not sure for the cable itself. Cable
color should be silver? The part Theo references looks to be a 5/16" flat type
ring terminal - 3 would be needed? BON indicates neg was a 14" woven cable
with a soldered right angle battery end - any correct type here?
Batteries I have found.
Interstate MTP27 @ $129
MotorCraft Max BXT27B with negative post on right $110 - cannot find any
pictures and ford dealers are no help. Appears terminals should be on right
with pos toward rear fender and neg toward rear of trunk closest to passenger
side fender not middle of trunk? Is this correct? For correctness sake is
MotorCraft accepted in place of Lucas or is Lucas only points correct?
Thanks
Joel Martin
