Check the regulator(remote mounted), one of the sets of points in it are probably burned and sticking, causing it to violently overcharge. I had the same thing happen at the WSCB in May and had to hike a couple of miles on foot from the hotel to get a replacement regulator at the NAPA store. If it is an internally regulated alternator, it needs to be replaced (if the regulator part cannot be serviced separately) before some wiring gets cooked.
