My 422 smallblock build

Got everything assembled and ready to fire. Filled the carb bowls pressed record on the camera, turned the key, and…….click. Dead battery. Hahaha!
I had the trickle charger on it all summer and it said it was fully charged. Guess it’s just passed it’s prime. It is 12 years old and had the dreaded white powder all over it. I hooked the big charger up to it and set it 50amp start and hit the key. It fired immediately for about one second on the pump shot so I know it’ll take off.
Stopping by the battery store after work and will see if we can get going tonight.
One thing after another with this cursed *****.
