I guess I'm the odd man out.... still have the side post in my '72, and it's never been an issue for me in 32+ years.

I've been told, like Andy said, they went to the side post design to move the connectors further away from the corrosive vented fumes -- and possible acid -- coming from the top of the batteries.
