let it sit, battery dies 140-160 1971

posted by  someone claiming to be Tim Wilkin on  Fri Mar 15 14:07 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My 71 164 was my main transportation but is now in the process of recieving some serious upgrades so down time is common. It may sit as long as a 2 week period without being started and during the winter was not started for a few months. I have had the alternator rebuilt, and still no change. I do not play with electric much but would like to take on this problem. My alt. light has stayed on since the repair of the alt. and I moved out of state after the work was done so I did not take it back to the shop. I can not remember the type of alt. I have, but I can find out. I am replacing the coil and ignition system with a crane fireball. Should I look into a new type of alt? How about the Regulator?
Thank you for any help on this,

Tim
