<x-charset iso-8859-1> I have a 1970 squareback and the previous owner tore out the FI and made it carbureted. Under the back seat on the drivers side are three boxes that have wires going to them, I know that one is the voltage regulator but what are the other two? The reason I ask is that I am trying to go through my electrical to make sure everything is working correctly. Something in my wagon is draining my battery over night. -I have tried two different batteries and after I put the charger on each one and make sure they both have a full charge I connect one to the car and it will barely turn over the starter after a couple of times trying I connect a portable battery jumper and it will turn over a little faster but still won't start. I try the second fully charged battery and it does the same thing. (I don't know how big the batteries are but the spare battery came out of a ford mustang that had no trouble starting or keeping a charge.) I think that it is a leak somewhere in the electrical. That is why I was wondering what those two electrical boxes are maybe they go to the FI which I won't need then. I was going to run a new wire from the battery straight to the starter to see if it will then turn over faster. Does anyone else have a suggestion on what else to try?\ Thanks Ryan ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ </x-charset>
