Ok, I'm guilty!

I found a connection about 5" off the plug on the alternator that I didn't stagger... It got pinched thanks to the way I clocked my alt (for a cleaner look) and it was somehow arcing through the heat shrink. I don't know how because a visual inspection showed nothing but I re-wrapped the wires and all is good... thanks! :hick:

i hate it when you do everything you can to prevent stuff like that and the voltage rating of heatshink or other piece parts just dont work the same way.
atleast you found the problem ,, thunderchicken was right.
