Probably smoked the diode tro and rectifier in the alternator. If I remember correctly this will cause a bleed-thru and keep the ignition energized. Have you checked the charging sysem?

X 2 what Greg said. I think he nailed it.
 The easy thing to do to check this , is to completely disconnect the alternator then start the car, then shut it off, if it works fine , then replace the alternator.

The problem sounds like simply its not killing the power to the distributor when you shut the key off. Your gonna have to run some tests to find out why its not killing the power.

You have two threads with the exact same issue, I have merged them here. Please to not double post, there were responses being made to the first thread.

Could be backfeeding through the radio memory/power circuitry from a bad diode there. Did you even try unhooking the alternator and doing the test that was suggested before buying an alternator? It would have saved you 100 bucks.
Now that your wallet is lighter, maybe try unhooking the radio and trying it again.
