First time owner also! 1979 L82 all original 46000 miles. Can use all the help i can get. Will be asking a ton of ?s. Like, Slow battery drain, if you don't start it for a few days battery goes dead. Battery checks out ok but is about 7 yrs old. Person who owned her before me only put about 4000 miles on her in 10 yrs any suggestions would help. Thanx Rick
