I want to buy a bettery topper for my '66 427/390 coupe with A/C.

They offer the following:

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]°[/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1] Delco R-59[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]°[/font] DC 12 Black Caps with Yellow "DELCO"
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]°[/font] DC 12 Yellow Caps with Yellow "DELCO"
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]°[/font] DC 12 Yellow Caps with Black "DELCO"

I believe the DC-12 is the correct battery but what's up with the caps? Did Delco make different color caps for different cars, amperages or years?
Which one's proper for my car? :confused
 
Yes, they did, although not with any particular reason - it just happened that way with production batteries. The correct battery for a '66 is a DC-12 with black caps with "Delco" in yellow.
