Replaced alternator-battery light stays on? 700

Hi Warren,
I have 1985 740gle. I just went out to the car and disconnected little red and the battery light went out. Strange thing though-the alternator was blazing hot, even tho' I parked it two hours before. I disconnected the battery for the night- I dunno- fire.
I just bought the alternator-it's rebuilt-at Autozone- a local parts store.
Do alternators run that hot? One of the posts mentioned a bad diode?

Thanks
