Which Optima battery?

I'm going to get a new Optima battery and just wanted to know if there is a particular one that fits our stock tray best? Any part numbers or info would be appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. Those that have them, do you just use the stock hold down clamp or something different? Thanks again.

as far as i know they make yellow and red ones ....
my 85 has the red one....
the yellow one is for boats has a deeper cycle
the red one is for cars/trucks....
there all the same size.....
so the red one's the ticket
