Okay, question...
I have a 71 3/4 Ton Cheyenne with a 400 SBC and a 400 Turbo auto/2wd.

My battery is a 1000 cold cranking amps and 850 cranking amps A/C Delco battery...the little green light is almost completely out, but you can still see a sligth glow.

I have a buddy who can give me for free a 690 cold cranking amps/550 cranking amps new Interstate battery.

Can I use the 690 CCA/550CA in place of my 1000 CCA/850 CA battery, or will I have problems?

Thanks,
71400LB
