Joe:
Corrosion or wire strand breakage from the engine torquing over on launch.
Wires at the alternator are getting put under tension at the connection to
the alternator. Have not seen this one posted in a while! If everything
looks OK I would recrimp or solder the wires at that point. I think you can
get a replacement pigtail for the alternator plug at the local parts place.
