Battery for 1986 Graduate?

Can anyone recommend a battery (part #) from Sears, NAPA, Auto Zone, Checker Auto that has enough cranking amps, etc. for a 1986 Graduate?

Now that the weather has gotten cold, it seems I might not have enough battery power...

Thanks!

Battery

I bought the cheapest battery I could at my local Advance Auto Parts. It looks like it is a type 34. It has been over a year with no problems, I only drive the the car maybe every other week. I wish I had bought a completely sealed battery, since I can not get to it to check easily. Also battery fumes in the trunk are probably not good. Be sure to clean under and around the tray and repaint if needed. RR

Thank you!

I bought a Interstate MT-34 since I drive the car everyday to work, about 10 miles round trip. The battery has 700 cold cranking amps (CCA), and a whopping 800 cranking amps. I can't risk being late...

Maybe its my imagination, but the car seems to run better!
