Well for now it looks like it was the alt!! A huge thanks to everyone, especially Del(67dart273). We cobbled(for now) a fusible link, hooked up another alternator and connected battery...and no issues...well no smoke anyway!! We are calling it a night, not going to fire it up in the dar....again!! Thanks again to everyone, but like I said Del was more than willing to help and spend lots of time on the phone!!
Thanks
Steve and George
