Paul I like the optima, because it is sealed cells and does not leak or vent acid. This to me is ideal for the location of the battery in the DMC. YMMV. Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, March 08, 2010 11...

Tom Tait — 2010-03-09T11:54:51-05:00

My opinion - It depends on how you use the car - If you drive it regularly, then get a nice mid-range battery, maybe an interstate MTP-78(DT) . If you only drive it once or twice a month, get an optima yellow top, which is more expensive, but tolerates sit...

David & Chris, The short answer is that you need a clutch! The burning smell is the clutch disc material overheating from slippage. I've never seen a rear main leak on a DeLorean bad enough to oil foul the disc. It's the old "chicken or the eggot; question...
