Without the engine running do you have battery voltage on the battery post of the alternator? If so and you still have a voltage drop in the wire, the wire may have been to small for the charging current it carried. This can cause the wire to heat. Over time this can cause the wires resistance to increase. It may not be enough of an increase to measure with an ohm meter but enough to show a voltage drop when charging with a heavy current. Try replacing the wire. What is the current rating of your alternator? If it is upwards of 100 amps or more, a number 12 or 10 wire is NOT heavy enough. You need to replace the wire with some number 4 or 2 cable.
