1999 Ford ZX2- ( I'm sorry )

Came in after a session yesterday and the water was boiling over into the overflow and the cooling fan was not running.

The temp gauge was not showing hot and the tach had been acting funny, bouncing up and down from my revs and being stuck at zero.

The car was very slow cranking.

I had my nephew bring me a new alternator and a voltage meter.
The battery was very low ( Optima Red Top ) and the old alt did nothing.

I swapped in the new alt, while I charged the battery off my running F-350.
The battery had 12.2 volts and started the car, but no charge and the battery started draining down.

Both alternators are going back to town for testing today.

Any ideas?
Is there a fuse in the charging circuit I may have overlooked?

Thanks.

I'll be checking in all day between student sessions.
I'm hoping to get it running today so I can get some laps in and run all day tomorrow.
