when i put my motor in i switched to a (used) newer style internally regulated alternator and put an electric fan on it. i got a key off drain about two weeks later. i took my alternator in to autozone and they said it was fine. so i figured my battery just wasnt holding a charge anymore so i went out and con-ed the guy at the auto parts store to exchange my 3 year old optima for a new one (only a 1 year warrenty), killed my new battery. after 3 days of chasing wires i took it to a shop. my alternator that autozone said was fine wasnt. it charged fine, but it had a key off drain. the electric fan burnt the diaod up. so new 80 amp(i think) alternator, no problems.
