CCA for Chevelle

[paint94979]

A 525 CCA came with the car should I step up to a 600 or is a 525 good enough?

You talkin bout batteries? If so, more is better

Do you need more? Hare to know would need to know more about the car what's the compression ratio how big of a starter what are you running when you are turing it over?

If it is a newer battery it should be okay but hard to know without the other info.

This is a classic 68 chevelle SS396 numbers matching car. I'm just gonna drop a 600 in and call it good

Was purchased in 2003 by my father, it was to be my high school car. I never cared for the 1970+ Chevelle's but rather liked the 67's and 68's but I decided on a 68 so I tracked down a reasonably priced 1968 Chevelle in Milford, Ohio... had it shipped to California. Its a 1968 Chevelle SS 396 Numbers Matching with the original M-21 4 speed for $9,500... The car needed both quarters, front fenders, and hood, all new front end bushing kit, the interior was already fully restored and the engine had been fully rebuilt 4,500 miles earlier. took my dads friends body shop 7 months to put it back together.
