Holy smoking alt. batman!!

[Daniel Neuman <dneuman@quark.sfsu.edu>]

Hello all,
did you all miss my goofy subject headings??
        I might have a problem with my alt.  Yesterday I tried to start
my car and nothing.  I poped the hood and looked underneath and when I turned
the key the spot on the alt where the '+' from the batt attaches got orange
hot and started smoking!!  The connection looked kinda crudy so I sprayed on
some contact cleaner and then the car started just fine.  
        Do you think that the built-up gunk-corrision was causing enough
resistance that that was the only problem??  What else should I do??
