Losing electrical power, please help

87 5.0 EFI, new alt., new batt., Car runs fine until i start turning stuff on. Headlights drop volts a little, then fog lights drop it even more. If I turn on everything (A/C headlights, fog lights, wipers, turn signals) my volts go to damn near to nothing.

look for a bad or loose connection on the terminals and or ground connections, if all is good have the battery and alt tested
