Hi Guys! Did a search but I'm apparently a very poor searcher, or I'm not finding what I need (though I'm sure it's been covered before here somewhere).
1951 3100 w/ 216. My brother and I stripped the electrical down and converted to 12V using a Ron Francis 'retro' loom kit. We also used a 1 wire alternator which we hooked directly to the battery. This was about 3 years ago and if the truck isn't driven every few days, the battery has been drawn down to completely dead.
I can put a charger on it and it'll charge. Once started, I put a meter on the battery and it is charging. I installed a Priority Start device recently, but it doesn't leave me with enough juice to crank the truck over.
I'm at my wit's end. How do I find out exactly what is drawing down the battery so fast so I can fix it once and for all. It's not enjoyable to want to drive the truck and then have it not start most of the time.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks, Chris
P.S. Last week I disconnected the radio thinking that maybe the memory is drawing it down. Nope, that's not it...
