This statement in the original post would eliminate anything external to the alternator brushes.


I missed that one. Sounds like a bad alternator (Internally grounded field) or there is a hokey wiring setup that wasn't described but I believe him when he says it was wired correctly.

Disconnect both field wires from the alternator. If there is a connection from the terminals to the alternator case there is a short.
