My battery keeps draining! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I finished my internally regulated alternator conversion, but the problem comes with the volt gauge hookup. Without the gauge hooked up, the battery does not drain. It must be the way I hooked up the two wires that go to it under the hood. I spliced the 4a fused black wire to the battery junction box just like stock, and then I hooked up the 4a fused black/white wire to the ignition switched brown wire-which is also hooked up to the white wire on the alternator pigtail. Why would this drain my battery, and how should I rectify this problem?
