All Indicator Lights On and Flicker When Engine is Started 200

Just in from installing a new rebuilt alternator. It was a Bosch rebuild. Came without pulleys so I took it to a local shop and paid them $10 to hit it with their electric impact hammer. The one odd thing was that, while the fan/pulleys fit the shaft on the new unit just fine, the lock washer and nut from the old unit had a larger diameter and just slipped over the threads. Thankfully, the shop guy had seen this before and happened to have the right size stuff just sitting on his workbench. Anyhow, took the time to inspect everything: bushings, belts, all wires, etc. Snugged the two spade connectors a bit and put all back together. Before starting the engine I read 12+ from battery + to a ground point. With engine running I get 14+. No more lights on or flickering. So I am calling this one done. I will hold onto the old unit, I guess. Thanks to all! I wonder what will break tomorrow?
