    There was already a problem thats why your points burned up the first time.
    I would have it check or change the alt and reg.
    It will cause alot of problems if you don't.
    anywere from shorting stuff out to causeing your battery to swell
    and burn up.
    Change the solinoid at the same time don't keep useing the same one.

    Have you replaced your voltage regulator. Your car should have a small external voltage regulator located either on the drivers side of your radiator support (mounted to the rear of it), or it may be on one of your inner fender panels. I'd replace it first, then have your alternator checked out at a local auto parts store.

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.
