Alternator Help

Great weekend I had, started with blowing out my ignition module and be stuck dead at a stop sign for an hour. Fixed the module its a 79' chevy 350 with GM HEI. I'm figuring the module blew because I've been having surges in my charging system. My battery has been charging and then discharging. My solution to this was get a 100amp 1 wire alternator. Did that and got it hooked up. I'm running the wiring from the starter up to the alternator, which then connects into the wiring to the fuse box, it looks all good. Then i got a wire coming off that same post on the alternator right to the positive battery terminal. Then I made a self exciter where the plug in would go. Seemed like the battery charged fine, but then this morning I got up and the truck was dead. Is there anything in this set up that would be draining m battery. I need help quick I'm sick of messing with this chevy, i'm starting to think its a ford in disguise.
