Default Lettering and Battery

What's the secret to getting to the holes in the hood and trunk that the FORD and MUSTANG lettering pins go thru? I'd rather not use the adhesive letters if I can avoid it.

Also, what's the recommended battery for a 68 6-cylinder 200? I mean what's the amps, cold cranking amps, etc., etc.? Someone told me that if I install a battery with too many amps it could fry the wiring.

Thanks for the help!

OK. Trunk doesn't have any holes for the letter pins, and neither does the hood. Why's that??? No wonder I can't find the holes! DUH!!

Ok, I'll call BS on the amps. The CCA rating is merely how many amps are available...not how many are flowing. Ask the parts store what they recommend.

amps arent gonna fry it, you can uses what ever battery it calls for cant remember what group size off the top of my head. but if you go to the store they will be able to look it up for you
