voltage regulator smoking! help
hi again as you can tell by now im electrically challenged im putting my 71 cutlass s back together i hooked up the alt wires and the battery it started right up no problem the alt light was on i look up and see smoke coming from behind the voltage regulator i shut it down and took the regulator off there is a coil on the back running from the f to the 4 terminal thats getting hot enough to smoke keep in mind i dont have any wires hooked up to the front end except the blower engine and alt the horn relay is hooked to the battery and i have a lead to ground it because my fender is off am i missing something? the secound time i checked and wiggled some wires the alt light went out but still getting smoke

i bought a new regulator and alt works fine now. i had the old stuff working before i changed it all it was charging at 14v at the battery the smoke quit. there was some paint on the one coil on the back not sure if they are supposed to get that hot or not but the new stuff seems fine. now onto the next problem the new rebuilt tranny doesnt move at all what a bummer
