Alternator problems

I just bought a 1992 VR4, and I replaced the alternator and it seems to not be charging. Seemed fine for about 2 days. It smells burnt and is not longer charging. I have the Charge back wire hooked correctly and the fuse checked out. Is there supose to be a ground or is it engine grouned like on my talon? I am also having problems with the ABS seems that the pump motor never shuts off, even when the car is shut off.

Any help woudl be much appriciated,

Thanks,

Zach

I believe there is supposed to be a small ground screw with a few wires coming from it below where the main connector is, correct me if Im wrong someone.
 

Would you be alble to look at your car and verify this for me, I'm not sure. My understanding is that it is case grounded, and grounds through the engine. Is it posible for a bad battery to kill an alternator in a day and a half? I havent checked that yet, but the alternator is forsure not charging.
