I've searched a little, but haven't really found what I'm looking for. I picked up a '50 3800 that has been converted to 12v with an alternator. My question is what battery specs should I be looking for if any, such as CCAs. Is there a battery that fits best in the OEM compartment under the passenger area? Thanks for the help in advance.

measure the space and compare to what's available in your area, get the highest rated battery you can afford, CCA is probably the best spec to go by
