Battery draining overnight

I’ve been reading the MadElectric article and I’m still a little confused.
Because they're a little confused. They think the alternator's main job is to supply the battery, and then the battery supplies everything else. shake_head-gif.gif
This is a one wire alternator and the voltage regulator is no longer in the car
:BangHead:
Sorry, but when you have a problem and only post a portion of the information its very frustrating.
What year, model, engine and options were on the car to begin with?
What modifications, new electric items (fans, amplifier, EFI or whatever) have been done?
Does this sound right? I’m trying to do this the best way possible while I’m in there because there’s nothing I hate more than wiring problems.
IMO, the best wiring scheme for a non-modified '70-'74 with a higher capacity alternator is a the optional factory 60/65 amp alternator wiring I posted earlier in this thread. To that, add a headlight relay wire harness connected to the alternator. '66-69 would be similar.
But I also only see disadvantages to using a single wire internally regulated alternator, except for specific applications - like a tractor.
