I'm having a similiar issue, tho mine is a 1984 GL wagon. EA81 engine.
Story goes like,
70mph down the highway, engine stubble like a misfire, then a few minutes later, lost all engine power. Everything else besides fuel smell is like what the original guy stated.
Alternator was fried, it fried some fuses, all replaced. Volt meter in dash reads nothing which is very odd.
The last time I had a bad alternator this happened but it started right up after replacement and it never fried any fuses.
I'm pretty stumped, because it ran very well beforehand.
The only thing I haven't replaced yet are the distributer cap/rotor. I'm not sure if a starter control module would need replaced also?
