I need to pick up a digital multimeter.

I am seeing 12 volts at the battery with the engine running and when it is not running.
The battery voltage doesn't change with the lights, radio, radiator fan, etc, on or off. The battery is rock solid at 12 volts.
I am seeing 14 volts at the alternator with the car running
I am seeing voltage drop across the negative battery terminal and the alternator case
I am seeing voltage drop across the negative battery terminal and the alternator mounting bolts
I am not seeing voltage drop from the negative battery terminal and the alternator/AC mounting bracket. I powder coated the alternator/AC mounting bracket.

The volt gauge in the car is showing less than 10 volts.
