I had another group 49 battery, so I replaced the new battery with the old and it started up.
Now I need to find my receipt for the new battery take it in and get it tested.

Do you happen to know were the engine to chassis ground is?
There is a wide strap going from the engine to the trans housing, but would that also be a ground?

It'll piss me off if that battery is bad, given the phone calls of Dad, my car won't start again.
I'm positive that battery is not even a year old.
