Smoke!

ammeter? Do you mean that amp guage in my dash? The smoke was not in the cab of the car, how would that effect it?

I'll have to go through and re-do all my grounds I guess. There was alot of ghetto work done on this car by the previous owner, ugh. I might just replace the engine harness and headlight harness for the sake of sanity.

On the plus side, my 15 month old kid really enjoys working on the car with me. He'd rather sit behind the wheel of the car than have his mommy hold him - thats saying something!

All of the power from your alternator runs through one bulkhead connector, to your ammeter, then back out to another bulkhead connector to your battery. When those conductive blades in the bulkhead build resistance from corrosion, they go "poof".
