...77 battery drain
So the car's finally running, new engine, rebuilt transmission, new brakes, runs EXCELLENT with over 350 horses..
BUT
there is a serious battery drain, so much so that it won't start the very next day. The question I have is, can the mechanical clock cause this complete drain?
Also, does anyone have a complete wiring diagram for a '77, including the radio?

Pm me your email address and I can send you some diagrams.
Also, check out this paper to help you find your battery drain.
Chances are it's NOT the clock. It might be any one of the relays in the car, and it can even be a bad alternator causing the drain.
