Battery part number
I have decided to go with a Delco battery in my '99. My GM parts guy isn't sure of the part number and since the existing battery is an Interstate, that doesn't help. Does anyone know the current GM battery part number for a 99 / conv / air / 6speed?
Thanks, Barry

AC Delco site shows 78 series for the 99's
Interesting that it also shows either 75 or 78 series for the 1998 model year.
My 98 came with a 78 series Delco, and thats the same series I've used for replacements.
Honestly think either one fits fine.

I havent tried a battery, but every time i ask about parts they ask for my VIN. apparently they can only find parts with a VIN 
Remember when they used to look up parts in a book?
