Subject: Electrical drain

Date: 	Fri, 12 Dec 1997 18:49:27 +0000





I had a slow electrical drain on my '67 Firebird.  After much

investigation

it turned out to be the alternator.  It would charge OK, but it somehow

also

drained the battery (over 5 days).



I have a drain on my Pantera, and is it possible that the Alternator is

the problem ???  (It's easy to check on a car with a more accessible

Alt.)



So, has any Pantera owner found an Alternator to be a drain ?  Or does

the

design of the electrical system prevent this ?  (Like a correct diode

bridge)
