84conversion50

i have an 84 v6 body mustang i just picked up. it was converted to a 5.0. The problem is the battery will run itself dead whether the car is on or off but the altenator shows to be charging. Is there a fuse i should be looking for? or just a dead short?

i have had a starter solenoid go bad and make the battery rum dead when driving

was it enough to run it dead and kill it while the motor was running?

Do you have an aftermarket radio??? Take a votage read @ alt. to see if it is charging.

its not my car yet but will be in the morning, it does not have a radio but there is a decent draw when the car is off ??dead short somewhere?? i havent checkd the charging voltage but when you rev the engine the voltage meter goes up to about 13.5 to 14 v

Car alarm or any trick B/S??

How's the belt tension????

no car alarms or anything i think its somewhere in the motors wiring. the coil pack contacts are really crappy. im not sure how your supposed to connect those, i may just solder them on so they got a good connection.
