well i took my k10 for its first drive since september but its first time out with the new motor/trans/stall. it did alright i still got some bugs to work out. ive got a bad plug wire thats giving me a fit so that will be fixed asap. my biggest problem im having is something keeps killing my batt. its driving me crazy im on my 3rd one since last june!!!! im having a feeling its maybe the alt going bad or gone. i drove it maybe a mile total lol. got the the gas station filled up one tank with fresh gas and went to fire it and the batt was dead so the wife had to bring the yukon and jump me. but man i love the looks you get ridding around in something with a lumpy cam and open headers hahaha. on the gas home i gave it about half throttle and she seemed to pull nicely considering the one plug not always firing like it should.

Don't drive it with it misfiring especially if you haven't broken in the rings yet. If it's charging you need to check for parasitic draw.

I dont plan to drive it anymore until i get new wires on it i think i ma have a set i never used in my storage unit i can swap in. Its supposed to rain all week untill monday now so it will prob. Sit untouched until then.
