I've (and others) have been using the NAPA alternator (in my case RAY213401=
1 remanufactured not repaired.
Remanufactured is where they go through everything, repaired is where they =
just replace the part that went wrong 

Can I ask which one you've used?

I went through a series of NAPA alternators, all defective out of the box, =
until I finally got my money back and bought a Leece-Neville/Prestolite uni=
t which has given me about 15 years of trouble-free service.  One of its ni=
ce features is that it has a modular external voltage regulator and changin=
g it would probably take no more than five minutes.

Maybe a picture  will help ...The only path for current to flow is through =
the 'Rotor' winding via the regulator...

I have been trying to find the source of a parasitic draw of power from my =
battery for the past several weeks.  FWIW, I have lost 0.75 volts on the ch=
arge over the last 4 days.  This seems like a lot.

When I remove the cable from the negative terminal of the battery (its a ne=
gative ground car) connect one end of my ammeter onto the negative terminal=
 on the battery and the other end to the cable removed from the battery, th=
e ammeter (set to read current of less than 10A) does not register a draw. =
 However, when I use a 12 volt light and connect it to the same points`, th=
e light goes on ever so slightly. 

Today I noticed a very faint humming from the alternator and it was a littl=
e warmer to the touch than the other parts of the engine. When I disconnect=
 the alternator from the solenoid, the humming went away and when I tested =
it with the light the light did not light up - no draw.  I can=E2=80=99t se=
e anywhere else the draw could be coming from.  I=E2=80=99ve pulled all the=
 fuses one by one to see if there is power being drawn from each circuit - =
with the alternator hooked up, there is no draw registered. 

This is the second new alternator I=E2=80=99ve had on the car in the last 6=
0 days.  I had the issue before I exchanged the old alternator and the prob=
lem continued when I installed it.  Could it be another bad alternator??  A=
re alternators exceptionally sensitive or just not made very well these day=
s?

Thank you for any light that can be shed on this.
