Default 12 volt wire that goes to the Alternator

The other day I accidentally hit my screwdriver to the 12 volt terminal that lands on the backside of the alternator. Sparks and burn smell happened!!! Question, down the line could of I done some damage? The other day driving home from a car show. My car would stop running as fast as a blink of a eye, then run like normal. Happened several times. I noticed the temp gauge went off the back on. Made it home and parked it for now. Any suggestions? 1965 B-Body with a PerTronix Electronic Ignition.
