wiring or relay frustration

when i turn on the ignition the power level drops and 3 relays from the glow plug relay to 2 more at the fire wall and under the steering colum on the right side pulsate clicks in an on off rythym in unison. any ideas where my isue is?

how do i test the glow plug relay, the large 1 of the 2 relays on the right side of the fuel filter housing closest to the fire wall?

thank you

my problem started trying to remove the bb mod, hoping it was the issue causing my knocking rough turn over of the engine. it will not run, just knock as it trys to fire. the fuel bowl is filling and there are no blown o rings there.
but as i have stated, i have anew issue now to overcome first. any help is appreciated.

where is the fuel pump relay? i have realized that the previous owner hard wired it into the fuse panel. this causes it to never shut off with the key on.
any help in straightening this out is appreciated!!

When you are turning the engine over what is the voltage drop on the batteries?
