so, i'm not sure which wire is supposed to go to the alt on top. there are two large black wires with circle connectors on the end, i beleive one goes to the alt the other to ground. either way i try it, the 60A fuses fry. it seems like they are getting the full force of the battery. i only have two fuses left so i've been using small gauge wire, and it fries instantly too.

PLEASE, someone help me so i can drive home tonight, i'm at my parents house, stuck in the garage.

which wire goes to the alt?
why are my fuses burning up?

During my stroker build I took this picture. It shows the connections going to the back of the altenator.

Hope this helps

is this a known good alternator? sounds like internal failure to me.

If you haven't gotten that fixed yet, perhaps this will help. The alternator is a two wire configuration, both black wires go to the alternator, the ground is through the "Idiot Light" wiring. one wire (10 awg) goes to the post marked Batt, the 8 awg wire goes to the other low post on the back of the alternator. Neither black wire is a ground.
