Back in 88 the cam in my 305 powered 77 camaro gave up. I swapped a 69 olds 350 into it and used the 69 alternator. Didn't realize I was running with no voltage regulator and one night a few days later I was driving down the street and one of the battery posts blew off and shot out in front of the car like a rocket, blew most of the lights in car too. Pretty funny and a valuable lesson.
