>> Question: After restoring the fuse panel on an old Alfa, installing a rebuilt engine and rewiring many accessories, lights, horn etc... Shouldn't there be no-conductivity between pos and neg battery terminal leads? I've got everything back together and am afeared to connect the battery because of general circuit conductivity. Everything is turned off. Any ideas Digest?
modelle in somers point << If you are simply hooking an ohm meter between disconnected positive and negative battery cables ..... yes you should get a reading .. It is a complete circuit. If you are hooking a amp meter between one of the cables and the battery post (with other cable hooked to it's battery post) then a 1974 era car would have about 150 mA of current with everything turned off ..because everything is never completely turned off ..... example: radio memory is still "on" even with radio "off".
