Thank you for the advice and photo. I cleaned the bulkhead terminals yesterday and while they were corroded it didn't fix the problem. The car still goes to discharge as soon as I start it. I ordered up a new V-R and will probably try getting that on if its a decent evening tomorrow when I get off work. Hope that does it, I had put a tester on the battery and it just sits at close to 12 volts whether the car is running or not. Maybe the dang new alternator is garbage, wouldn't be the first one that was lately. Picture of the "beast" in case anyone likes C-bodies.
