240 Battery from AutoZone - they are wrong 200 1988

HI guys - (and gals, just a euphemism)

When the wifemobile (1988 244) began having cranking/starting problems, I took it to AutoZone, where the battery was purchsed by the PO.

AZ said: Battery tested OK. Battery is a 47-D style, the one car is supposed to have.

NOW - through a convoluted and irrelevant tale - I have a 48-D battery in the car. THAT one fits right, is long enough to "fill up" the battery tray (47-D was not), negative terminal next to fender, lots more cranking power, etc. Car starts in under a second. Hooray.

SO - if you have a flap with anyone, AZ or anyone who sez 47-D is right, have them look at a 48-D before spending a nickel with'em.

Good Luck,

Bob
