Our Corvette 86 didn’t start, we changed the battery, again in the morning the car doesn’t start.Obviously the charger can’t keep abreast with something discharging the battery. What todo?

When you say it does not start, could you provide some more details? What exactly does and does not happen when you turn the key?
