Hey guys, quick question, I recently purchased a rebuild kit for my delco alternator, and when finished seemed free wheelin' and fine, installed drove 10 mins away from home, and smelled something really bad. It was raining, and when I opened the hood, my alternator was so hot water "danced" on it?? I got home to open up the alt again, and the stator was completely black, and burnt (it was buetiful copper colour when installed). when opening a friend and I notice some metal shavings (we had to tap the rear case for the bracket as it was stripped). I replaced with another one, now works fine, but headlights (low beams) do not work??
the "quick" questions would be, is there a seperate fuse in a 86 Monte for low beams (as my high beams work), and could the metal shaving cause a short in alternator, we thought they were blown out, apparently not, but was a small amount.
I'm also checking my haynes manual, but wanted some other possible opinion about the headlights.
