Self inflicted wounds.
I am leaning heavily toward the powder coating on the AC/Alternator bracket as the culprit.
I picked up a battery/jumper cable. It is just a short battery cable with an eyelet for a bolt on each end.
I connected one end to the back of the alternator mount bolt and the other end to one of the bolts that mount the AC/Alternator bracket to the engine.
Now the guage inside the car is perfect and I am seeing 14.28 volts when the car is running. I see a small drop when I run all the lights and the blower fan. All my lights are now LED so they don't draw much.
The jumper cable is 4Ga and was still cool after 15 minutes of running.
