Rick, 1) Verify with a VOM that there is no current present between "R" and ground with the ignition "off". 2) Did you install an "idiot light" in series with the ignition switch & "R" terminal when you did the conversion? It's required. 3) If both 1 & 2 are OK, then you may have an internal short in the alternator. Any auto parts store can test it for you. 4) Assuming you have a 10SI, it is supposed to ground through the mounting brackets. Verify that you have a good ground with a continuity test.

When you finally find and fix it, you'll have accomplished something!
