This is starting to get a little off topic but please help me out because
God knows Canadian Tire can't.

I have a 69 Type 3 notchback that needs a new Group 42 battery.  It
apparently us unavailable through Canadian Tire or any of the big chains
here.  I assumed Group 42 was bigger than Group 41 but sounds like it isn't.
Does anyone know if I can just a) use a Group 41 or any other size or b)
where I can get a Group 42 in Canada?

Thank you, thank you very much.
Jeff
