I purchased a 29 Model A Tudor and did some cosmetic restoration, my first Model A. While warming it up for a trip to registration office I had a fire . Short of long tale all wiring in dash, terminal box , and to distributor and generator fried . I replaced all this with help from a Georgia Model A catalogue and a few phone calls . Replaced all wiring mentioned plus distributor and generator. Put several fuses in circuits including starter . Engine started and ran for 1 hour, no problems. Battery later went dead and traced to a sticking stoplight switch . Engine now starts sporadically. Acts like battery dead but it's not . Now what ?

battery connections ? How to test ?
