Engine dies when I apply brakes 120-130

Klaus,


I still don't understand. I was able to push start my 1983 Volvo engine with a modern 100 amp Denso alternator. The battery was at about 8 volts after hours with the brites on. I was parked at the top of a parking structure and was able to roll the car down and pop the clutch in 2nd. It fired right up when I hit the key to on.

Can the car run without a generator?
