Hey Bill,

bet ya a buck you've got a stuck voltage regulator causing your battery drain.Try this, remove your battery, charge it up than connect only the positive lead....unplug the voltage regulator. Now touch the negative cable to the post, there should be no spark. If this is the case you've found you fault... o yeah make sure you have nothing causing a draw when you do this...ie doors are closed and lights or radio are off...if not than you'll get that spark.. now plug the regulator back inand try it again if you see a spark this is your drain..hope this helps.

mike

I finally got into the trunk of my newly aquired Hornet. The original spare tire is there and the lug wrench but no original jack. No big deal. Got all the garbage out of the car and the trunk is in really good shape. No rust. I was hoping to find the original arm rests like I found the original glove box face plate, but they arent there. I have a pair off of a 72 that I got a couple days ago and they are different. I have always thought that AMC's all had the same style of arm rests, but I guess I was wrong. So, if anyone can find and point me in the right direction to a pair of arm rests for a 1970 Hornet 2 door, I would greatly appreciate it. Color doesnt matter as long as I have somthing besides the straps that it has now. I have a wiring NIGHTMARE, the battery isnt holding a charge so somthing is draining the battery. It has an after market cruise control on it and that is going to the big dumpster in the sky, along with the third brake light that is on the back deck. The dorky wanna be fog lights on the front bumper are headed the same way as the above items are. I am also going to have to figure out what to do about the battery tray. I thought of fabbing up a plate of aluminum, that would work for the time being untill I can find somthing out of another 70's car. The battery tray is on the oppisite side as my Gremlin. Its strange how the engineers changed everything around in 2 years time. Bill Id.
