I have a two wire alternator that will start to smoke after a few if you leave the igniton switch on without the engine running.
It is a standard Delco no other problems. It charges Batt fine.
I have the main charge wire from the Alt going through AMP meter and back to Batt, it works. The Green wire from Alt is hooked-up to Ignition switch terminal that is only hot when in the on position. The Alt does have another connection on it that has a jumper from it to the main charge treminal on the Alternator it's self.
I just don't know enough about Alternators.
I don't like the idea that some thing is slowly frying.
Any ideas???
