Check the connections on the alternator. Something may be hooked up incorrectly. Also make sure you are hooking up all the pos wires to the positive and the neg wires to the negative you may have a hot going to the neg side or vice versa.

Yeah running rough would be the knock sensor for sure, sort that electrical issue out before throwing parts at it.

Check the diagrams and see if the fuse quits blowing.
