After fighting half the day with alternators and regulators on my 89, it got dark and I was tired and accidentally shorted the wire that goes from the alternator to the relay on the fender. The fusible link burned away, so I went to autozone and they sold me a new 14 gauge link, its the biggest they had. The wire from the alternator appears to only be 10 gauge and from what I'm reading, 14 should be fine for the link but when I got everything back together tonight, the wire gets really hot.
The fusible link gets really hot and so does the connector where I crimped the wire from the alternator and the wire from the regulator, to the fusible link.
This is a 70 amp alternator.
By the way, my battery light came on this morning and the volt gauge was reading low, so thats what prompted me to change my alternator in the first place.
