Hello
Ive recently purchased a 85 camaro and i dropped a 305, 5.0L in it and have finally got it on the road.
The problem is that i first put in a new battery on a saturday and found that it died on me on tuesday, i took it back and the mech, told me it was a bad battery. so they replaced it and now its friday and it died again what could be killing my battery's

thanks

Check or have someone check your alternator, It should be putting out @14-14.3 amps. If that's not it, you have to start checking for something being on all the time.A clock,a light, big stereo equipment, etc.If that's not it, you have a dead short somewhere and that can be a pain.
