Yellow tops in GM Vehicles?

[Foote 10+ year member]

My chevy 1990 S-10 blazer...it has the annoying battery side post things..the kind that need adapters. I was wondering...can I just replace this stock with a Yellow top battery...or is that gonna be a problem? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nerd.gif.c6fa51ddf7ff75f1c0371fbc648f70ae.gif

nope. you can install any optima battery as they do have side post terminals.

you can do whatever you want, just cause its a gm doesnt mean you cant convert the cables to post's... its quite easy but to answer your question you will be fine...

Im getting this wiring kit:

I dont see that it comes with a GM-adapter...so If I try to install it with this ima run into a problem right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Do I need to get an adapter as well? Or am I missing something? Also, if I do need an adapter...where can I find one for 1/0-ga?
