Hmm.

Regardless of whether the alternator can be damaged this way, I will avoid running the new alternator in without proper connections. I'll also be wary of tightening the bolt.

The alternator came with zero instructions. I follow torque specs to the letter, but in the absence of this information, all bets are off...
