Thanks you Guys , I guess I got the wrong ALT and yes it is a square back two field and my orgiinal one is a one field.

it for sure puts out more amps than a 1 field terminal type so if your pulley lines up I'd keep it and just ground the other male terminal & you're set

It's working now , I switched it to a 1 wire field a swas stock and it works fine , thanks for all you help. So did the bad alternator cause the fuseable link to fry in the first place? I am hesitant about driving it , as the Engine was running all wires in question were not warm or hot so I think it is fixed , your thoughts , thanks.

The big wire / nut to the alt was tight on the stud but the stud into the alt was really loose , I took the alt apart and everything looks fine except the round deal the stud is attatched too.

Actually I've never been inside one ex to split the case to press on a diff pulley & I never paid any attention to the insides so not sure how the stud is connected but it for sure would need to be securely connected/good continuity but if it's not burnt and tightening it secures it to what it contacts & visually everything looks kosher I'd say all good

No it is really burned up , so I guess after things got really hot the f/l took the hit.

I drove it 25 miles and no problem the AMP gauge is very steady at cruise and so far so good.

Thanks again you guys for all your help.
