Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

Not much to report. My wife backed into my daughter's car so I've spent the last couple weekends fixing that.

I did get to spend some quality time with the truck's electrical system yesterday before the Superbowl party. Something drained the battery while it sat over the weekend a couple weeks ago. Read a bunch of threads here on tracking that down. After recharging the battery, I pulled the positive cable off the battery and read 12.6V from the positive battery post to the end of the positive battery cable which I understand means something is closing the circuit and draining the battery. I pulled every fuse out of the fuseblock one at a time and no change. Pulled every inline fuse for aftermarket stuff I've added and no change. Read that sometimes the alternator is the culprit so pulled all cables from it and still no change. I wasn't putting anything back, just continuing to remove while doing this testing. Now I'm at the head-scratching phase. Maybe something going on with the bus-bar I installed off the battery, or maybe starter...
