I have a '87 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 4WD standard, the original altenator went out at 133k miles and I replaced it but now the amps will not stay high enough to run the system and cooling fan. Does anyone have any ideas? Also I replaced the injector seals and now can't get them all resealed to stop the fuel leaks.

Before you lost the other alternator, was it puting out enough juice? It almost sounds like you have a heavy load out there in your system somewhere dragging your alternator down. No blown fuses or burned wires anywhere?
On your o-ring problem, I've used a little bit of Power Punch smeared on the o-ring to help it slide and seat properly...

I have checked the entire system and have not located ay blown fuses or burned/bare wires to cause a short.
