Re: battery
Assuming you are talking about 1969, side post unless the car had T60 HD battery. All T60 were top post.

Re: battery
William's right.
Before May of 1969,the standard Camaro battery was the Delco R-59 Top terminal with a 61 Ahr. After May 1969,the standard battery was now the NEW R-79 Delco side terminal,with the same 61 Ahr.It had a 3/8 Positive terminal & 5/16 Negative terminal to protect against cross cableing. The optional Heavy Duty battery throughout both time periods was the Delco R-69 top post,which was available under RPO T-60.This carried a 70 Ahr.It was 3/4 of an inch taller then the R-59 to allow for larger plates and more power.This battery did NOT change over into a side post battery as some would lead you to believe. Below is a picture of my NOS R-79,dated June 1969.

That R79 is NOT the optional T-60 battery that was available on the 1970 Super Sport Chevelles. The R79 side terminal had a smooth top with delco eyes along it's casing,just like the R59 top post. R79 Top

Re: battery
The R79W was first released in 1970 and what was included on the 1970 Chevelle LS-5 & LS-6 package as RPO T-60,and available a side option also under RPO T-60 on the L-34 & L-78 Chevelles.
I think Cumby is too busy..  ...so here is my NOS R89W,which was newly released in 1971,which is nearly indentical in every detail to the R79W.
