It wouldn't be the first time that I replaced an alternator that it was bad
off the shelf, so I would start there. I would think if there were a short
that drained the battery that fast, you would know it.

Subject: IML: ''71 electrical glitch
Happy New Year, gang
I just picked up my alleged 34,000-mile, one-owner, parked-since-1987,
never-left-California 1971 LeBaron from the docks yesterday. It needs a
lot of work
but for starters, it's got some kind of electrical system demon that
drains
the battery almost immediately upon starting.
Previous owner installed new battery, new alternator, new electronic
ignition
but clearly that wasnt the problem. Driving it around the block just now,
the
lights started to fade and then went out altogether just as I pulled into
the
driveway. A couple minutes with the battery charger and she starts right
up,
but then the lights start to dim ...
Anyway, I have zero aptitude with electrical stuff, so Im handing it over
to
my professional. Any quick thoughts on what might be the culprit? Short
someplace?
Aloha and many thanks.
