Regrettably, I made a rookie mistake the other day installing a new battery in the 78 MG Midget. I installed the battery the wrong way and u know the rest. When I connected the POS to the NEG battery post, the rear of the Alt began to smoke from the rear immediately. I recognized the mistake and immediately removed the POS. I reversed the battery and connected it properly, but when I connected the POS CLAMP to the POS BATTERY POST the ALT began to smoke from the front. My gut tells me the ALT is FUBAR. Is there anything I can do or test before ordering a new one? Thank you in advance.
