Reddish orange originally..
The word DELCO was black and not painted when installed into a vehicle on the assembly line. Over the counter taken out of the box batteries had the word Delco painted that matched the caps color. Although my car is detailed restored to assembly line stock,I painted my DELCO wording to match the caps,as I prefer that intricate detail. And no,it's not a topper..

Good info Rick also car looks great! Wasn't color representative of Cranking Amps w/ Yellow being less CCA's than Red also Green less than yellow? On replacements, were all R-Series Red and all Y-Series Yellow as I was wondering in this recent Topper thread? https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=155337 ~ Pete .

I've always had a correct battery in our Z with the terminals reversed (technically the R59 wouldn't work anyway unless I modified the original battery cables because the ground wire to the core support isn't long enough to reach from the other side of the battery), so I just recently made my own Y-55 topper as there are none produced at this time. I started with an R-59 topper and switched the polarity insignia. My wife found a place that sold the correct decal that even came with a warranty card that I thought was funny. I painted the yellow accents myself even though the kit came with yellow decals. Pretty happy with the results. Last edited by x33rs; 07-31-2019 at 10:34 PM. |

Finished up the Delco Eye this morning. Came out better than I thought it would!! Ended up using the green masking tape as you guys mentioned. I had to because the acrylic rod was so clear when I was done you could read the writing on the top of the battery through it!!

Looks good! I've been wanting to do that, but haven't gotten to it yet.
