Mike, Also just remembered something else. Some folks connect the nr 2 stab (the one on the right looking at the rear of the alternator) directly to the big terminal without going through the main. If this is done, it will totally drain the battery. THis terminal is the one to the field of the alternator. It must go through the main switch also or else the fields are excited continously whether or not the engine is running or position of switches. Believe it or not, some of the alternator info tells one to do this.
