Can anyone help me to find a battery?

Thanks everybody for the advice and input. I guess what I am looking for is at least a picture of what the original battery looked like so I can match it up the best I can. Thanks again everybody! Cliff

One of the earliest replies provide a link for you, or just search google for "1979 delco freedom battery" and view the images tab. They look like the "topper" also posted earlier that makes a modern AGM battery "look" like the old one; at least from the top.

I doubt unless you find a company that produces a reproduction/replica with modern internals (AGM, for example) you're likely going to have to pick a modern [off the shelf] version (i.e.; AC Delco, if you want the same brand...) and just bite the bullet.

The original 1979 sales brochure specifies Delco freedom battery. I read a little bit on different forums for various GM cars of the era some were all black with labels some mwere white case with a black top with labels some were multi colored labels some eere rather plain. Probably as long as you go with something that’s a Delco freedom most people wouldn’t be able to argue whether it was correct or not
