1949 Chevy, Battery Draining - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ever since I put a V8 in Henry I have had issues with the battery draining. It has not been a big deal since it gets driven almost daily, but if it sits for more than a couple days the battery goes dead.

Most of the factory wiring is still in place, just changed some stuff up to get rid of the foot pedal starter and install a key switch.

Running a 2 wire alternator now. I had been running a 1 wire alternator with the stock 216.

Any ideas??
