In my 53, I received a 6 volt battery. It was old, the caps were rotted, and the outer cells low on fluid. I filled the cells with water and checked the voltage. It showed 6+ volts.
I would like to use this battery to start the 216 engine while working on the truck.
Any suggestions or thoughts? Should I take it down to Autozone for a charging?

Probably need a new battery though. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Just showing 6V doesn't tell you anything about whether it will crank an engine. As David said, it needs a full charge then a load test. | | |
