I used the same size battery. IIRC it had side and top posts.

I used the top posts, bought some cheap terminals from Amazon.

Yeah, I've been running the ACDelco 78DTG (used to be 78DTPS) for like 6 years now. I replaced the first after 3 years, voltage showing a little low in winter but it was still OK. I just got another one here a few months ago. They changed the model name and updated the warranty to 42 months I think from 36 it had before.

Heres what I ended up doing working ok. Holley powered on and I loaded on my base map. One thing that was weird v6 had output test now and none of my outputs are working. I don’t have am 02 sensor yet and I though I remember reading Holley won’t fire any the outputs unless 02 is plugged in.

Also need some help! Has anyone concerned their power stearing lines to AN. What fittings do I use on the rack?

Been a minute since my last update. Wiring is pretty much done engine cranks I’ve got spark and injector so that’s a good sign. Pulled the axle to build it next and also picked up a mono leaf and cal tracks to get the rear end lower. Springs give me a 1” drop and I’ll probbly run 2” drop shackle. I don’t really want to lower the truck much more I’m happy with the height. Unforchently with raceweek approaching so fast I’ve gotta abandon some of my plans till next winter. Holding off on shock relocate, ARB, and painting the frame rails just not enough time. Only few things left and she’s ready for first fire and a tune.
