Ummm i did and you should run a separate ground to frame off the alt ... Some call this the big 4... Not just consider the alt grounded... And go head and point out where what I asked about leaving his stock conections in addition to the upgraded wire was discussed ..

I'm still skeptical about the battery though.... When you did the Big 3 did you leave the stock wiring or take it out?

Right there... Scroll up a little bit

Op if you wanna take a sat drive over my way. Ill check out your alt. I can see if its installed properly and check voltage. Also try to diagnose your problem

i'm the singer rep on the forum here , and i have a singer alt as well . sounds like a bad battery . i have had the same issue in the past with pep boys batts . had one changed 4 times before switching brands and got a good one . the third one they replaced and did a load test on site and found out that it was bad .you need agm battery not a regular battery . the only other thing that could drain the battery is either something is staying on or shorted

Well I remember when I first installed alternator my hid bulbs died and the hid relay harness blew the fuse which I thought was weird, so I took out the hids and the relay and put back my stock bulbs now. Mike singer suggested I ground alternator to battery he said that bolt thats used to ground the alt was close to the rectifier. The autozone reps tell me their battery compares to the optima. What is a agm battery?

Bad battery or a parasitic drain when the car is off and it's discharging the battery to low levels

Ok so is it internally regulated or externally? if its the newer ss like my body style it has afm which kicks down from 8cyl to 4cyl ti conserve fuel ..also when it does it kicks the votlage down to 12.7-12.9.
