Need help. I think my alternator is not charging the battery. It keeps draining it. I just bought new 130 amp alternator and new battery. I installed it using SVE wiring method like on this video SVE 130amp installation. Need to figure out what's the problem. Thanks in advance

Venomousnotch is the guy to ask about this. He's the one that took care of my problem and told me about the fusible links, etc.

the alternator harness/headlight harness is totally different on 4 cyl, has the alternator ever charged since the motor swap?

No. It had the stock alternator. The car was originally 1985 4cyl automatic. The stock alternator went out so I did a 3g alternator swap. The car has 87-93 headlights with HIDs

Thanks for all your help. Found the problem. The ground to the starter got disconnected when I installed the new 4ga power wire. SMH ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
