So I'm looking for suggestions and or someone to fix this problem for me Thanks in advance..
if the alternators keep blowing then he grounded out the positive wire on the back of the alt. hope that helps
Hope this makes sense....I'm too sick to think clearly. Oh & don't let your 'friend' touch the car again. The fuel lines run behind to the alt & if they would've grounded the alt there.....you wouldn't have a car. [ March 07, 2002: Message edited by: 93PONY ]

friend of mine said that you should check your voltage regulator. If that is whats blown then the batteries should be getting really hot when charging or swelling.

The Voltage Reg is internal in the Alt. With new alt comes new reg..

Sounds like a possible short somewhere. Where was the screwdriver used to cause the short? (Since when is a screw driver needed to install underdrive pulliess?) When the power wire was originally shorted, it could have melted and touched something metal on the car (ground), but a million other things could have gone wrong as well.

Electrical problems suck!
Last resort:
Since the regulator is internal to the alternator, it can be wired directly to the batery. Much like the (GM) PowerMaster 1 wire alts. I've done it a few times & it bypasses the stock wiring. A little more complicated with the stock Alt, but there are detailed instruction on the web....I think on the Corral.
