My DILEMMA(s) Thread *** (searched)

Help me find the answers to get this car in perfect condition

1. When I pump the brakes, volts will drop to 9-10, revs bog to 500.
Preface: I've put in an FD alt recently, new Optima 35 Red Top, volts are strong at 14.2 on idle.

2. Logicon is plugged in, lights working, but all the switches aren't working.

3. One prong on the right headlight connector is melted. When the left is on and the right is off (because of the connector), the highbeam light turns on in the dash.

Preface: I've replaced the connector and taped it up. It burned through it.

4. Fuel Pressure Gauge (Prosport) is reading inaccurately (maximum). The sender is T'd off from the return fuel line with brass fittings. The ground is hooked up to the body, and the sensor wire is correctly connected to the gauge.


Pictures of said issues to come. Thanks in advance for any help!

2. Hopefully you'll figure that out since I have the same problem and haven't been able to find out a damn thing.
