Narrative:
Slc approach vector to extended final runway 35, 210 KTS (ATC directed), cleared to 9000 ft. We could see we were getting set up for slam dunk. Cleared visual at 10000 ft, cloud base 10800 ft. Approach control directed us to make s-turns towards east (mountain side). By now we had dropped gear and speed brakes, flaps 15 degrees. We saw B737 very close, approximately 2-2.5 mi in the s-turn. Captain and I were about to notify approach when approach said, 'this isn't going to work. Climb to 11000 ft. Fly 340 degree heading.' we were at 9500 ft slowing to 170-160 KTS, autoplt disengaged. Put throttles to miss approach range and began to clean up. Got EFIS 'left generator' light in climbing turn approximately 10500 ft. Back in IFR WX, causing a distraction. Climbed through 11300 ft, but got back to cleared altitude. Finished clean up and 'left' generator light extinguished. ATC put us in a bad spot. Complicated it by directing VFR maneuver, then back to an IFR clearance with flaps and gear, plus turns complicated by abnormal EFIS light. Once back to 11000 ft, the autoplt was re-engaged. Remainder of flight was normal.

Title: A B767-200 FLT CREW OVERSHOOTS AN ALT ON A MISSED APCH, SUBSEQUENT TO BEING CLRED FOR A VISUAL APCH, HAVING THE APCH CLRNC CANCELLED AND RECLRED INTO IMC.
Narrative: SLC APCH VECTOR TO EXTENDED FINAL RWY 35, 210 KTS (ATC DIRECTED), CLRED TO 9000 FT. WE COULD SEE WE WERE GETTING SET UP FOR SLAM DUNK. CLRED VISUAL AT 10000 FT, CLOUD BASE 10800 FT. APCH CTL DIRECTED US TO MAKE S-TURNS TOWARDS E (MOUNTAIN SIDE). BY NOW WE HAD DROPPED GEAR AND SPD BRAKES, FLAPS 15 DEGS. WE SAW B737 VERY CLOSE, APPROX 2-2.5 MI IN THE S-TURN. CAPT AND I WERE ABOUT TO NOTIFY APCH WHEN APCH SAID, 'THIS ISN'T GOING TO WORK. CLB TO 11000 FT. FLY 340 DEG HDG.' WE WERE AT 9500 FT SLOWING TO 170-160 KTS, AUTOPLT DISENGAGED. PUT THROTTLES TO MISS APCH RANGE AND BEGAN TO CLEAN UP. GOT EFIS 'L GENERATOR' LIGHT IN CLBING TURN APPROX 10500 FT. BACK IN IFR WX, CAUSING A DISTR. CLBED THROUGH 11300 FT, BUT GOT BACK TO CLRED ALT. FINISHED CLEAN UP AND 'L' GENERATOR LIGHT EXTINGUISHED. ATC PUT US IN A BAD SPOT. COMPLICATED IT BY DIRECTING VFR MANEUVER, THEN BACK TO AN IFR CLRNC WITH FLAPS AND GEAR, PLUS TURNS COMPLICATED BY ABNORMAL EFIS LIGHT. ONCE BACK TO 11000 FT, THE AUTOPLT WAS RE-ENGAGED. REMAINDER OF FLT WAS NORMAL.
