If you catch it soon enough (before you overheat the stator) it's possible to save it. It's happened to me. But definitely if one part of the charging system is bad, check them all - including all connections.
    I ran the no-load alternator test in the Clymer's book, and got 75V AC on each pair of wires, which they said indicated an OK alternator. So I'm just going with a replacement R/R as a start.

    Thanks!

    Great news, sounds like you made out well. Once that R/R goes you don't have long until the stator follows, so you got it just in time.
