I will also chime in. The first indication of an issue was the original current loss from an alternator fault. (cause unclear but attributed to the ice) Repairing the alternator by putting a VR and diode trio in it may have only fixed some of what may have been wrong with the alternator. The blowing of the alternator is also attributed to bad wiring/connections. Alternators that are good do not smoke when attached. The only reasons they fail dramatically are when they are connected to reverse polarity, or they have shorted internal components (rectification bridge, or wires shorted to laminations. So Showing battery voltage across the alt stud to the bat + terminal on the starter is interesting for 2 reasons. one is that the alt output terminal seems to be a ground (it should have a very high resistance, but not ground) and that there is no conduction through the amp meter. So purchase a new alternator. Make sure your wiring is compliant in every way to the diagram. Put a new 40 amp fuse link in the wire from the alternator to the amp meter. Make sure the amp meter is conducting electricity with very near zero ohms resistance. Make sure the battery is connected with negative ground (I always thought the pos and neg postswere too close to the same size myself), and run it. Jim
