I did some investigating on reproduction of the original Delco Freedom Battery. Restoration Battery Company told me that the Delphi Group still own the dies and unused cases to the batteries in question. Restoration Battery Co. has the rights to reproduce Delco batteries from 1953 to the 1970's style. Delphi will not authorize any release of their dies or cases. So that is the final word. I guess we take our 10 judging point off of the 4500 we start with and become a 99.8 car. All that is needed is 97.0 or better the be awarded the McLallan Mark of Excellence. I have two original PF970C black Oil filters. Both have labels in grey and black. The original does not have a label with a bar code on the box or the filter. Be careful if someone says they have an original. The Box the original comes in states "90-92-ZR1 Oil Filter.
