yep, sounds like it. i was afraid of that, but wanted to toss out a few ideas - it would suck to replace the alt and have it still not charge right.

good luck with it.

My thoughts exactly, knowing my luck that's probably what's gonna happen. Trying to think if the wiring I did behind the dash would cause this. I put in two guages, a fuel level guage and an air/fuel ratio guage. The air/fuel ratio guage lighting wires, are connected to the fuel level lighting wires, as well as the ground wire on the air/fuel ratio guage is grounding to the fuel level ground. The fuel level is wired to points 2, 9, 10, and 11 per the following scumatic:

Am I touching any wires back there that have anything to do with the alternator? And now that I think about it, it was a really dumb idea to use the ground on the fuel level guage for a ground on the air/fuel ratio guage, because now that I think about it, it may be my problem with my fuel level guage going ****ing nuts. I need to change that and have them ground to seperate places.
