I'm guessing a smoking alternator is a bad thing.....
DAMN!!! well i was driving to work this morning in my FB and all of a sudden all the lights on the dash came on but the car was still running. So I pulled over into an empty parking lot and opend the hood up. I saw that the alternator by the pulley was SMOKING and it was starting to melt the alternator belt!!! Has this happen to anyone before? Im pretty sure my alt is fucked which is no big deal i'll fix it later today. Also i was trying to search about an alternator upgrade for the FB and i couldn't find that one thread that i found a while back. I just need to know which FC alterator just bolts right onto my 82 GS (no modifcation just straight bolt on.....and i believe they are 80 amps right?)...anyways i hope its just the alternatror and not anything else. What do you guys think?
