Default stupid question...

i know im gonna sounds stupid on this one, but i need to know the exact battery that my 96 needs..the a-hole i bought it from had the right battery in it and then switched it out when i came to pick it up after inspection for a smaller one. if anyone could help, it would be great...this week has been horrible for me so far.

maybe, 100-150 at most. I advise you to stay away from motormaster batteries. Name brands like Exide, Interstate etc would be fine.

I used a Duralast Gold 900CCA, very tough battery! It ran about 80 bucks if my mind serves me right!
