After finishing my minirebuild of the 73 B, I am faced with a constantly
dead battery. During the rebuild I removed everything from the engine
compartment to paint it etc. so all wires have been disconnected and then
reconnected. The car has a new battery and runs fine after being boosted.
A couple of questions.
1. What is the easiest way to track down a battery drain?
2. Can I measure the current across the fuses with my Multi Meter, and
find the guilty circuit? I barely passed the only EE course I took in
college, so any help here would be appreciated.
3. On a completely seperate note, I would like to make my B a daily
driver. I know a lot of you on this list use your car in this way.
However, I currently do not have that much faith in her to drive her back
and forth to work everyday. While I realize this is a VERY broad question,
what steps do you daily drivers take to ensure that you get back and forth
okay (Outside of routine maintenance) or are you all driving fully restored
perfect cars?
Thanks in advance,
