I've decided to go with the optima red-top, but now im wondering which model number fits and where did you find the best price?

TIA

#34-78 is the #. Call some different part's store and get some prices. Also online there are places that sell Optima's. You just have to compare prices if you want the best price...

You can buy Yellow top Optimas (better battery than red tops) for about $150 shipped on line.

I replaced mine with the best Interstate battery sold,7 year. I don't get the whole gel thing.

I believe I paid about $80 each 800 CCA.
