I had the same problem with me 85 Mustang. The alternator would stay "on" and kill the battery quick. I had a wiring issue deep in the dash and never fixed it. I bought a one wire hook up Powermaster alt. and just bypassed the problem. But from what I understand there is a wire that turns the alt. on or energizes it. Thats your issue

Edit: I bet if you touch your alt. even if the engine has not run it will be hot.

iight I'm back. i just tested my front battery and it was reading @ 12.35 volts i disconnected my other 2 battery's just so i can jump my self in the morning if i have to.. but i really cant say its "on" because i was driving it about 2 hours ago. and to me it's around the same temp as my engine is. I will check later today.

When i first installed the alt i ran the 0 gauge from batt to alt with fuse, but i never grounded my alt. i grounded it earlier today.

Also for my alt plug, i guess it bypasses the internal reg. but i have a the new plug going into my old plug. when i turn up the voltage regulator it reads around 14.7 volts so i know i bypassed it right.

So i pretty much think i have it figured out. Whenever i plug these in for my voltage regulator my volt drop. when i unplug it my volts go up.

there's the pick.
