truck parked battery dies
'71 Chev pick-up. Truck would only start with boost. Once running would run until turned off then boost to start again. Brand new battery installed fires right up. Park for 2 days battery dead. Is this drain problem common to Chevs? Is there a quick fix or is it hunt and peck time with an ohm meter or something?
Thanks

Have you checked the charging system voltage yet?Should be 13.5 to 14.7 volts measured across the battery cables.You can check for a drain with an amp meter or a test light.On something that old a testlight is probably easier.
