Gremlins in my electrical system?

after 4 more hours in the garage yesterday i finally got it fixed. i was simply sold the wrong alternator and i wrongly assumed i could make it work... i was sold a 1 prong alternator, but where the 2nd prong should have been, there was the terminal w/ a screw and everything, but no male spade. i mean, Exactly the same alternator. originally comparing the two, the terminal looked identical from what i could see inside, and even removing it and looking at the conection inside, so, i simply added a spade and hooked up the wire. i didnt even think anything of it. Lesson learned! anyways, bought the correct part and started shredding tires again. :cheers:
