I just wanted to thank everyone who has responded so far! We haven't had much time to work on the car but did today.
Checked water pump, harmonic balancer, ground cables, no issues with wiring harness near catalytic converter. One of the wires near the alternator (husband didn't say which) seemed a little corroded so he's replacing that.
The burning smell was the alternator belt. We pulled it off and it was missing teeth/chunks and had very obvious heat damage as well as some dry rot. We have a new belt ready to go. Alternator pulley got very hot the other night just from driving to the garage again.
Husband pulled the second alternator and brought it back to the parts store, they tested it and the stator failed, so now we're waiting on the third alternator, which comes in next Thursday, and we're getting a Bosch whereas the other alternators weren't Bosch.
Saga continues...
