1975 Corvette Battery Discharge
Every time I start my 75 It drains the battery and needs put back on the charger. At first I thought it was the battery so I replaced it but still have the same problem. The car has recently been brought out of about 10 years of storage. I jump start it with my truck and it seems to take all the amps of both batterys to start it. The key has been worn out and I always jump out the solenoid but I dont think thats the problem .Any ideas?

I havent been able to reach anyone. I'll post something as soon as I find something out. You might take it to a shop and have a starting/charging system test. It should only take about five minutes and many places don't charge for it. I know Interstate Batteries offers this service around here. The hook a computer to the battery and it cycles through a series of tests. Load test, CA & CCA test Alt. output, and a Starter test.
