Tom: Take a look at the wiring diagrams for your Bus on
http://www.vintagebus.com/

Now I'm assuming that you have converted the bus from 6 volts to 12,
or someone else did? Did you get all of the bulbs changed out? Does
the alternator have an internal or external regulator? Power surges
almost sounds like a bad regulator, bad alternator, or both. Yeah, I
know the alternator is new, but get it checked at pep boys, autozone
or some such place. It doesn't sound like the battery is getting any
juice to recharge it. Obviously you need to check all of the
electrical connections to make sure they are clean and tight. Good
luck. Clancy
