CM Battery: 85 6 speed

I need to replace the battery in a 85 coupe 6 speed. What is the correct Delco replacement battery? Is it a 90 RC? Should I use the Delco Professional. It's a Wal-Mart in there now.

Six-Speed in an '85? That's not stock.... 4+3 was the standard trans.

My best advice is go with either a good Delco or Interstate battery and remember to throw a charge to it before driving after any prolonged sitting.

1985 Z51 4+3 trans rebuilt 5.7 TPI,(.10 over) w/ CompCams 12-262-4, 52MM Throttlebody, underdrive pulleys, reworked heads, Hypertech Thermomaster chip, & cat back exhaust

I've got too many cars in the garage. Of course it's a 4+3.
Thanks
