Van stalls when lights turned on

My buddys van dies when the lights are turned on. Anyone ever experience this before? Its not a ford, its actually a old school pos chevy van. I think its a early 90s van, maybe late 80s. It runs great other than this. Any help would be appreciated as this van is the band van and they had to cancel their last gig in orlando because of this.

Is the van carb. of TBI? My guesses would be bad ground, probably between engine and frame/body or bad alternator.
