My original question remains unanswered, did the light go out?
I've been working with tools since I was 4 years old. Both my Grandfather and my Father taught me to treat and use tools properly. No tool destroyer here.
And, yes, the light went out upon the first restart. GTG!

I have read that there are TWO different alternators for our cars. Did you encounter any problems with getting the proper one the first time? Just curious.

The one I received from O'Reilly was indeed different. I had to swap the pulleys and the back plastic housing needed to be slightly modified to accept the OEM cable end. I've attached a picture of the original and the new, damaged unit. I informed O'Reilly and showed him the picture of the unit, he said if it fails, they WILL replace it. The plastic is just cosmetic, so I'll leave it in.
Cheers!
