John, in addition to what has been mentioned:

It almost sounds like a wire is rubbing somewhere when you floor it. I'd be
checking the wiring around the engine. Try moving the wiring around while
the car is at idle and see if you can duplicate the problem. The full
throttle thing is what has me leaning toward this conclusion. Oh, and if it
started occuring when the alt was changed, look at the wires connecting to
the alt, and in that immediate area.
