Well I guess I fixed the issue.
I just came back from the auto parts store after picking up a new battery terminal for the positive side on the battery and I just redid the ground wire that connects to the chassis and tranny housing and the drop in voltage is gone. I tested it bu turning on...

Start the car and get 14.58 from alternator post and neg post on the battery (headlights off)
From the +post on battery to -post on battery (headlights off) and I got 14.32
Then I...
Ok kool I'll try that as soon as I get back home tonight. I assume I need to do this when the car is running.. And just by chance what voltage readings should I be looking for as far as normal readings and abnormal readings.. Might as well know what to expect. :)
Well the alternator is new. And the battery is brand new. Just got it today. So I don't thinks its either one of those things. How would I check the voltage output of the alternator? Sorry for that newbie question..
I've been trying to determine what voltage numbers I should be seeing.. Im trying to find someone with a safcII installed in their car to see what volt readings they see on the monitor window when batt is selected.
I get 14.3volts when the car 1st comes on then if I turn on my head lights the...
