probably means your alternator isn't charging.....your old battery might not have been bad and even if it was, it could have been caused by the alternator going out..could've killed a cell

Go to autozone or shmucks or whatever autoparts store is near you, and have them test your alternator. That'll tell you if it's bad or not.

You can actually pull the alt on the carb models without having to pull the driver side axle. Last time I changed one I snaked it under the manifold and out the passenger side. The only trouble I had was getting it around one of the heater hoses, and I think I had to disconnect the speedometer cable.
