    Power cuts out when ignition turned on

    Yes! This is exactly what I am experiencing. The main grounding cable from the battery is not attached to the alternator bracket. I am running March Performance serpentine pulley kit and there is no bracket. Negative cable from battery runs to frame. The block has four heavy gauge grounding...

    Squeal
