Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

why am i getting such a bad voltage drop...? i have a new battery, stock alternator no problem starting or seem to have any problem with the alternator, it happens when the lights comes on and the fans kick on an i was stopped when i stop it drops, note: this only applys when the service light comes on
I think ur alternator is takin a crap. It slows when ur engine slow therefore it doesn't make as much power. Take it to ur local autozone and they will test it for you.

hey if you want to buy an alt i have one i bought thinking mine was bad its a 200 amp lt1 i paid 200 for it i will sell for 125 + shipping if your interested let me know just email me didntdoit11@comcast.net ii never instaled it i realized mine wasnt grounded
Yup, sounds like the alternator is bad. It was actually kinda funny -- when I installed my new gauge cluster it kept saying "Check Gauges" and it was driving me nuts because I knew we had everything connected correctly. Turns out the "Check Gauges" light on the 97+ gauge cluster turns on when your alternator is bad. I went to Murrays and on the way my voltage spiked to 18+ and then everything started blinking and going crazy. Thankfully Murrays is only a mile away from my house (including the drive through the subdivision) and I got a new alternator. Installed the new alt and the "Check Gauges" light turned off and everything worked great again.
yeah mines doing the same thing. at a light my voltage gauge drops right down to about 8 volts even without any accessories being on and when i start moving again it goes right back up. glad mines parked for the year.
Mine does the same thing, but its a new alternator, I replaced it last year. But I know I have electrical issues, so I am hoping its just a missing ground somewhere and not the alt taking a crap after one year. Driving its around 13 volts but at idle it sometimes fluxuates from 10 volts to 13 volts, Sometimes if I tap on the guage it moves up and down alittle too.
Yeah for electrical...

Mine did that too, but very, very sporadically.

had voltage problem last year on my van replaced battery, replaced and tested alternator twice, and turned out that belt was stretched out enough to cause problem.replaced belt and tensioner and it worked.also have heard of belt being routed wrong. just trying to help good luck!
I think the regulator is part of the alternator? I would say you have a wiring issue, check the grounds and wires going to/from the battery/alternator.

As far as I know, the regulator is part of the alternator...
Since about 1970...lol...
Another possibility is a bad battery cable...had the negative cable go once...

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
hum well not sure how you change battery cables since there wired in the car system.. ? not sure if that's easy thing to do , also been looking at if it's an easy thing to replace the cables just moving the battery to the back instead of up front.. seen the kit for like 40$
