Battery should be the same for 1979 and 1980.

But do yourself a favor, and check out a specialist battery shop, and see what they recommend to suit, then compare prices with supercheap. Instead of getting a general battery as listed in a catalogue, you'll end up with something that suits your car and how you use it.
