Hi,

I have just bought a 1980 Chrysler Cordoba (318-4 Barrel) that didn't come with a battery. I have just loated a Thermoguard bousing, and will bet the J bolts locally. My question is does anybody know the biggest battery that will fit the tray/Thermoguard? The manual for the car lists the biggest battery aa a 550 CA. Most of the batteries are 700-780CCA. Will those batteries fit, and what do I get by going to say, a 750 CCA battery? Is there a possibility that the starter could be damaged?

I will also be putting in a 100A Chrysler Alternator. I assume I will need to upgrade the cables going to the battery to at least the next biggest gauge?This is for a fairly high powered car audio set up. and yes, I already have most of the brackets for the 100A Chrysler Alternator.

You do not need to upgrade any cables to the battery when going to a 100 amp alt

 

Get the 750 cca battery should fit fine as long as the battery posts are in the correct position, Take the cover and check fit when you buy the battery if your worried

 

The thermoguards come in different sizes. I have one in my Aspen and I should have ordered the larger battery.
