FAI

The colonies are still resisting this "metric" thing as an European conspiracy. And don't admit the provinces are using a new and improved measurement system.

Re: Recommendations for replacement Scorpio battery?

broken
Did you ever use Deka from East Penn Mfg., Lyons PA? I presume the specs depend on the version [good, better, best]. I've been using their 2nd's for years, so I don't know the specs. Fortunately all good for > 4 yrs. in all my cars.
Their website shows the small Duracell batteries.

:cheers You must have a very good relationship with your parts supplier to be able to browse their hose collection. It's been a very long time [in my experience] since independents with crusty ancient wooden floors were so accommodating.

Re: J Hose - behing the AC compressor

NOTE

Per Brad's post

Keep in mind, unless you delete the HCV and run coolant through the heater core continuously (as Cleat and myself have outlined in this thread), you can't reasonably just eliminate the J bypass hose and cap off both end.
