Are you putting the correct cable on the alternator post?
One in the harness is a positive and one is a ground, did you mix them up?

That doesn't look like the single wire alternator I bought from them. It doesn't show the back but mine didn't look like that.

The old one could be shorted out for the reason it's arcing.

I would ground it just like the Factory one is, you can never have to many grounds.

Cut or burnt?
It may have burnt due to a short in the charging circuit. If so, you can replace it and it will burn again.
Need to find out why you're having arcing problems.
