I have a left over Optima Yellowtop, part #SC34DU. Will this fit in my cruiser? Either for a main or a secondary in a dual bat setup.

I run a yellow top on the passenger side of my 80 and switch them with the Painless Wiring dual setup. I am not sure about that part #, but I have had great luck with the yellow as an aux battery.

It's a size 34D. same as my old lady
ok so i wish.
so it has top posts as well as side posts. it seems rather large and not sure if it will fit. hence my post. i did do a search and didnt really find anything. if i use this one as a secondary which Optima should i get for a starting bat?

It will fit. If you're using it as an aux. battery, you can use either another yellow or a red (cheaper) for the main.
I run a 34D redtop for my starter battery. It will fit, but IIRC I had to go to Autozone and get longer battery tie-down rods. I bought the longest ones and trimmed the length so they don't hit the hood or hoodliner.
edit: Now that I think about it more, maybe I had to use a die on the battery tie-down rods to extend the threads further. I'm sure you'll figure it out. It fits.
