Ryan,
   Also, When I had the short in my rear wire harness I was getting these
wild swings in the amp gauge. I replaced the rear harness and fixed the
short and it went away.
   I now have a short in my backup lights. When I go in reverse it blows the
fuse for the turn signals. I guess I need to replace the nuetral safety
wiring next. Does anyone know where I can get a new plug for the Nuetral
Safety Switch on the tranny?

I guess I can get it tested.  The alt was rebuilt last year though, not a
parts store reman, I had the original alt rebuilt by a reputable shop.
However, these aren't the same symptoms I had when it went out the first
time either.  It's not always swinging, just intermittantly, otherwise it
acts completely normal.   I really hope it's not the alternator...
