SCREW YOU DALE!!! Muhahaha
Now a message from me:
I think I fixed it. I first added another ground from teh alternator case to the frame. Then I removed the power from the bat to the alternator and ran another one. Tried to start the car, but no power at all. So I hooked up the power again that was from teh harness AND I put the power cable that I ran ddirect from the battery. STarted it up and got 14v. NO DRAW at all when I turn on accessories. Turned on the lights, heat, rear defrost and flashers. Then turned on the high beams. STILL 14.something v. Even when I bring the RPMS up. This was when it would drop down to 12v or less if I kept going with the rpms.
Now the question that I have is... Will running a cable from the positive term of the bat straight to the positive term of the alternator and doubling it up cause any issues? I'd assume that it is the same thing that I had only with another cable... Right?

you have a broken pos wire some where from the sounds of it and that would mean fallowing the wires on the harres from batt to alt

I'm not sure if that would drain the battery, it's possible... but if the extra + wire does the trick, awesome!

Reply to the Z: Prove it, I'm not convinced you're fixed. Reply to Sean: Follow this through, test and then re-test. If this is it then congratulations.

lol Karoline and I went for a 2 hour ride last night. Made it home with no problems so I'm thinking that things are all better. I had the lights on, and radio on for the entire ride.
I'm semi confident that things are fixed. I'll know better after a week of driving it lol.

I do wish you the best in having it fixed... Electrical problems are the biggest bitch.
