Well I tried to post pics to describe my problem but I need a lesson on how,but heres a link... http://members.cardomain.com/highness
alt went up in a poof of smoke.......new alt,same poof.....HULK SMASH!!!!!! I have 3 wires still stumping me and i have 3 diagrams that are only mildly helpful...confusing to say the least......in the bottom pic i dotted the 3 wires in question.......where do they go? The blue and red are the ones i hooked to my starter hot pole and the yellow i grounded by the trans.....what am i doing wrong? when my alt went the first time i found i also fried 2 connectors, ive replaced them but i dont want to fry them again....any ideas?thanx in advance for any help. oh and if i leave the plastic connector on the top of the alt unplugged,no smoke and it cranks!! plug it in poof!!! GRRRRRRR!!!
Oh and i didnt take it apart, i got it as a basketcase or id know how to put it back together!!!!
