Guys I currently dont have a battery tray, its litterlly just stuffed inbetween the fender well and radiator and held in place with bungies. I have seen some of the firebird/camaro battery tray kits like this:

I am curious how the hold down mechanism works. I am used to seeing like a bar or something that screws in and holds it down. I need to order one of these kits before I do damage to the battery and/or car. Can someone post up pictures of there 67 battery and how its held down.

I appreciate it guys.

The battery should have an indented area at the bottom on both sides. It slides into the tray projections on one side and that hold-down clamp slides into the other side and you tighten it down.

Even modern gel batterys have the indentations and work with the OEM tray and hold-down.

Here's a shot of it:

AH, I get it, it holds from the bottom, not the top like newer batteries. Ok, that explains why there is no hold down bar. Got it, thanks guys. I am going to order the kit.

make sure to get a bird battery holder, you can get it as a kit from classic indutries , camaro is different, its on the opposite side. Ask me how i know.

HHHMMMMMM, well I got the battery tray in the problem is I cant get it to fit. Turns out the previous owner installed a radiator overflow catch can, something like this: http://www.classicindustries.com/firebird/parts/60741.html

Does the 67 have a stock overflow catch can at all? I am debating removing this or getting a separate one to relocate. So far I have not had any overheating problems with it down in hot Tucson. Any ideas or recommendations because I do not like having the battery just set in there and held with a bungie like it is now.

No radiator overflows from the factory.

Can you relocate your overflow to the other side?

I dont see why not. I have plenty of room on that side. I might just give that a try when I get home from Taiwan next month. Good advice, thanks.

I have an overflow, but it was not stock on the car (but bought from Year One)...just wanted it when my car ran hot ,to see how much I lost , plus not poisioning animals around who could lick up the fluids spilled...mine is where the WS washer fluid bottle was, then I added that bottle one to the overflow bottle frame, frames welded together as one unit...
