Since I drove the truck to work today (since it is a street truck, 22 miles from work to home), I went out to get a video of it. It started like a champ! I had the battery on a charger last night so I am begining to wonder if I need a stronger battery or alternator?
You should check the cranking power of the battery..
load test... whats the output of the alt

I have a stock one wire 60 amp chevy alternator on my Duster and it will keep up on MOST race days but i usually don't go a lot of rounds like some guys. About every other week i have to charge it during the week or it will drop to a voltage level where the alternator isn't energized enough to charge the battery and actually starts discharging it.
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time
