<VV> Corvair runs better with new battery?

[Bryan Blackwell]

I can see how a really dead battery would pull the voltage down  
enough at idle to make the car run worse.  You're not getting much  
out of the alternator, and if the battery is basically a power sink  
that could well affect the ignition.
