I recently replaced the alternator of my 1990 Chevy Camaro because it was sparking. It solved the problem, but then everything electrical in the car started flashing and the battery charge guage thing was at 18 volts. So a mechanic I know told me it was the automatic tensioner. I bought it and it continued flashing. Can anyone help? I'm tired of wasting money.

At 18volts the alternator is out of control could be the regulator is not controlling the field generation-Get it load tested-Quit running it battery could explode
