Alright, did a 6Bolt swap, wire-tuck, MS, AEM FPR, Innovative LC-1, FuelLab Fuel Filter, Push Start, and battery to the trunk... Everything is installed and I tried to start and the starter clicks but all the lights in the car go dim/off... I checked with a multimeter the battery and I got 12.38... I also checked while trying to start the car and got 8.03... I went over all of the grounding points and sanded the paint down to bare metal.... I'm charging my optima battery overnight, but I want to know if anyone could think of something else that it might be thats draining all of the battery while trying to start it...
 
The LC-1 is unhooked at the moment.... and for the push start, I have the battery to a 20Amp fuse then to the push button, which is jumpered to 86 & 30 of the relay... 85 is the ground and 87 goes to the S terminal on the starter solenoid... Question, wouldn't the alternator give a lil juice to cover the extra amp or so that the battery is lacking???:confused: I'm really thinking that It might be the alternator.... I have the 1G Alternator here, I might just throw that in to see what happens...
 
The alternator does nothing until the car is actually running. You have a short somewhere or a ground missing.
