1968 GTO Battery
I would go to your local GM dealer and order a Group 24 top terminal battery. I believe it is an R59. This new replacement battery would be dimensionally equal to the original battery and your cables should work. I think this is an acceptable solution to your situation. It would be concerned a "GM service replacement part" . Yes, you may lose a few points at a judged show but the cost is around $100.00 compared to $250+ for a reproduction battery if you can get one. The company making them has changed hands and not sure if they are readily available. Any other replacement battery brand would not be acceptable and would lose all battery points at a show. Just my opinion. Good luck restoring the 68 and enjoy driving it. Don't focus on perfection or resale value.
