My sons 73 duster (slant 6) had smoke from under the dash on his way to school. I found and replaced a section of 12 guage black wire just inside the fire wall on the inside of the car. Also found the same wire burned at the quick connect in the engine bay just behind the valve cover. I straight wired it to bypass the connection. The problem is im not getting any charge from the alternator now. I replaced the alter. and the voltage reg. and still no charge. amp meter shows nothing and the engine will kill when the pos battery cable is pulled. Im not skilled in electrical areas so it may be simple fix but im stumped. Any suggestions before I take her to the doc??
PS I changed the brake mast. cyl 2 days prior and did spill some brake fluid on the fire wall wiring while bleeding the brakes. don't know if this might have caused a short??
