Have searched the site and the web regarding battery group size. It appears that a 64 B body came with a group 27 size battery. Am I correct? Thanks.
 
Group 24 I would say. The group 27 will not fit in the 1964 battery tray. It is too long.
 
I just look at a my factory 1964 Price and Equipment Manual and I'm not seeing a battery spec.for the B-bodies. I did see that the Taxi and police cars cam standard with a 70 amp-hr battery. The 1964 Factory Parts book lists the 70 amp-hr as a group 27 battery and it shows as "optional".
The New Yorker and the Imperial models had the group 27 as a standard battery.
 
I just put in a 27 yesterday in my 64 fury, fit perfect.
group 24 - 10.3"
and a group 27 = 12.1"
 
Installed the group 27. Fit perfectly, thanks again for all the replies.
 
I will have to go out and check my tray now in my 64 Belvedere. I have always thought that a GP 27 would not fit in it. Maybe I'm thinking of the A-body tray.
 
Been years since 66 Belvedere been on the road but iirc, I ran a 27 in it. All of my vehicles have the same battery in them....95 Dakota, 97 2500 and the soon to be gone 2000 Durango.
