So after much research on batteries today I've got a real headache. First I found that Interstate and Les Schwab both don't have an mtp 35 or any thing that size.
So I happened to call a friend at the local Napa store. He told me that their batteries are made by East Penn who also make Deka batteries and lots of other goodies. The cost is good, the warranty is good and its 640 cca. which should crank the 327 over nicely.
So looks like tomorrow I will pick up ne.
Thanks for all the input.
