Battery hold down clamp
My 82 recently failed a tech inspection for not having the battery securely held in place. What kind of clamp does the 82 use? is it like other typical GMs with the bolt and plastic/rubber wedgie?

My 74 has a metal hold-down bracket with one bolt on the back side of the battery and a metal bracket on the seat side that the battery slips under before bolting the bracket down. The new batteries don't fit very well and need some sort of a spacer to be secure.
