Looking to relocate your battery from the front to the back? Summit Racing makes things a little simpler. (http://www.superchevy.com[B)I recently picked up a 1970 Z28 Camaro that has been sitting dormant since 1984. I am in the process of improving some of the old mods the previous owner did, and that's what brings us to this point. When I opened the trunk of the car (once I got the key to work that is), I noticed the battery had been moved there. Having the battery in the trunk improves the weight distribution of the car and also helps it hook up by moving some of the weight from the front closer to the rear tires. After seeing the awesome battery hold-down system (a tie strap), I knew this needed to be fixed. I thought it would be a good idea to redo the install and have it conform to NHRA rules. That was until I read the rules.
