Ive concluded its not worth the risk of trying to use this alt. But I will say that even with the overheated connection, it was still charging. I could see that on my dash gauge. But the heat did some damage to the plastic piece at the batt post on the internal part of the alt. I'll just spend another $100 and get a new alt, and fix all the wiring. Heres some other pictures that maybe you have comments on.
Connections at fuse block look good
Connections at solenoid look good
Toasted crimp that was at the back of the alternator. The cable literally crumbled and broke off when I touched it.
