Hi all,
Just wanted your opinion on this issue with my 71:
When I go to start it, it often cranks slowly like the battery is low, but will eventually start up. Lately, if I just do a short drive, it will sometimes not fire and the battery will actually go dead and I will require a boost. (will almost always start after a longer drive, but still cranks slowly at first)
The amp gauge is not showing that I am getting any kind of negative discharge. (and it is working fine)
So, would you figure it is a battery issue or could it still be the alternator? Or maybe both? (the battery is only a couple of years old)
Just wondering which I should start with first.
Thanks for your help!
