Also, dump the old Delco-Remy voltage regulator and get a solid state one. Try Cycle Electric.

EDIT: so after fixing grounds and other wiring, the VR was still giving the same results. Switched to a solid state VR and right away everything worked normally. It would seem that the 2 "new" Delco Remy VR's I ordered both were bad or poorly made right out of the box. Everything is working normally now!
