Default 1988 corvette problems

Just changed the alternador and battery but whenever I full throttle, there is some power loss?
Also sits at 10v as to the 13v from before.
Seems like the alternator isn’t charging? My vette just dies and have to jump start every time to turn on.
Advise?

Make sure you're getting power to the field wire (the little plug) also put a volt meter on the power output on alternator. You may have a Bad Alternator. Cheap rebuilds and Expensive New are not Exempt from Not Working
