Try these .... 200

I don't remember you indicating the model year of your car.

1992 and '93 models with ABS require a slightly shorter battery to fit next to the ABS unit; non-ABS cars will fit a larger-sized battery (see below).

Also, my two '93, ABS-equipped cars require different batteries: one with the earlier VIN has the positive terminal near the side, and the negative nearer the engine; while my other '93 with a later VIN has a positive clamp that houses several fuses, and it requires the positive terminal near the engine and the negative terminal near the side.

Anyway, if you've got a non-ABS car, these should fit:
Exide 24-72P
Interstate MTP-91 (700 CCA, 875 CA)

Whatever you buy, not only be sure that the terminals are in the right place, but also be sure that they have the ridge on the bottom to fit the hold-down clamp built into the battery tray (I hate those add-on, over the battery, hold-downs).
