I run a BBC stocker. Currently I have a 16V battery with 16V alternator. 7AL3 ignition. The car starts quickly-not a lot of cranking required. The problem I have is by the time I make a pass (3-4 starts to get to the line) the car usually does not start by the time I get through tech. I have replaced the starter and would not think the fuel pump, water pump, igniton and fan would draw that much. Also I have check the alternator for a draw. What is the concensus of opinion with regards to type of battery and how many?
