i have a 81 5.0 hatchback with a 85 motor in it, 302.
the car is all back to factory but the battery doesnt seem to be charging when i run the car, also the car has alot of trouble starting. seems like when the car sits it wont start for anything, i even charged the battery and tried it again. is there wiring to the alternator that needs to be fixed.
let me know
thanx
brandon

have the alt. tested. does it start when you charge the battery? if the alt. is good you may have a bad ground.
