I re-located the battery in my Caprice to the backseat for the local enduro races.
and since, the battery has not been takin a charge,,
Swapped out the alternator and battery,
first i had the wire off the alternator going striaght to the battery in the back, and the wire was veryyy long..but it wasnt charging still so i moved it to the postive side of the starter solonoid and still no good, now its a little better, its charging at about 11.40's volts,, not the ideal 14.3....
I can disconnect the negative side of the battery and the car stills runs so i know the alt is good,, ive tried everything ( i think )
the only other thing im thinking is to have a higher gauge wire from the alt to the starter solonoid and that will charge the batt?
Any suggestions appriciated!!!
Thanks!
