I'd go along with the wire as Bill said since you did jiggle it around a bit but if you bought a reman alt or if the rebuilder had over 50% of his teeth I wouldn't be suprised if that was the culprit.

It is not as bad as that, the reg voltage will get to 14.7 volts maximum. If the reg fails completly, there is a 15/16 volt Zenier Diode built in there to limit the voltage to prevent the frying smell.
