I am wondering, without going shopping, do I need a Series 51 or 51R battery? I want the positive terminal to be near the dash and on the right side of the car ?
Thank you
 
Don't know what a 51 or 51r are but I would consider getting as small of a battery as you need to get the job done. The battery is unnecessary weight located high up in the car. I like to put them in a plastic boat battery box with notches cut so that a strap can be hooked to the hold down loop's. If you are ever in an accident you don't want it to short out against the bonnet at the same time that fuel is likely to be splashed around!

Kurt.
