[bonnie&clyde]

Your car is idling at 500 rpm with an under drive pulley on the crank. I'd imagine that you're seeing the affects of the alternator turning way too slow at idle.

I agree with this and I think this is the sole problem. his engine size and large cam requires a higher base idle. I have an aggressive cam in my DSS built 306 and it won't idle worth a damn under 850rpm. if I try to idle it down it will do the same thing. I'm sure his way larger combination will require a higher idle.

"HELLS TO THE MUTHAAA FUCKING YEAH" or simply "FUCK YEAH?"

It sure sounds good at 500 rpm though

lope is easy to confuse with the the sound it makes when it's wanting to stall.

So the alternator was wired in wrong?

Looks normal for a low rpm cammed car

[stevo]

SO, all you needed to do was rev the damn engine up enough to make the alt charge enough to excite the dash gauges?

Not to be an ass, but didn't I ask that in post #13?
Or what did I miss?

well i did check it and as soon as i would let go of the gas it would drop back down

no, everything was wired right just wasnt idleing high enough to make the alt move
