Isolated or “dual field” alternator? I’m not too familiar with non-68s, I think the field wiring and ignition 1 wiring are on the same circuit coming out of the switch. But it is odd for two branches to meltdown

I have done nothing recently. I have a 76 Cordoba sitting right next to it and its resistor is no more than warm. I bypassed the Lean Burn on that. Right next to the Cordoba is an 80 Mirada its ballast was hot also. [censored]? Not sure about the alternator. How do I tell?

On stock configuration there is no a straight relationship between Ballast and reg, more than just share the same input signal source from Ign switch, but nothing going throught between them.
JUST cranking the Voltage reg can get load coming from ballast by the default on the Chrysler dual circuit ign system design, but that's just for that instant.
