Mine fits fine also. I got it at Murrays... No idea on the model either. You don't need any adapters or anything.

ok, thanks alot guys! It must be the 75/35 then. Thats the direct replacement for our cars, but some here on the board said that didnt fit right, so they got the 34/78, and used an adapter.

Hmmm, I had the one from Autozone in my car and it was pressed up against the metal lines coming off the radiator. I was worried about it rubbing a hole in that line, and turns out it eventually kind of rubbed some of the battery's plastic cover off. Maybe I had the wrong one.

You have to get the smaller of the 2 red tops. The bigger one wont fit but the smaller of the 2 fits like a glove.
