If you are replacing the battery only and the cables are fine:
First things first... Disconnect the battery. Positive first and then negative.
Remove the retainer plate which is to the rear of the battery inside the car's battery cavity located behind the drivers seat. You will need a 9/16" (I believe) socket and an extension to remove the retainer.
The tricky part is that you cannot see the bolt but it is in the center of the battery body to the rear side. A little more tricky getting it back in than removing it initially.
Remove the bolt. The long bolt and retainer can then come out. Remove the old battery and replace with the new one. Attach the positive cable first (It is a side post and will be marked) and then the negative.
YOURE DONE! Total time... Less than 5 minutes...

There are many dealerships across America that sell C3 Corvette's. One of the best places to buy a C3 Corvette is directly from a Corvette dealership. Many used car dealerships sell C3 Corvettes at a lower price.
