Okay, got the alt fixed from last forum, but the idiot light still flutters??? So Far I've disconnected the points style regulator and installed a remanned alternator w/ the little plug in thingy that makes it charge as soon as it turns over. The battery is new and clamps are new. Connections to the alternator are clean and tight. Could this be a ground problem??? I Know the ground from the battery to the frame is in good shape and the strap from motor to the frame is good. Is there supposed to be a ground from the frame or motor to the cab?? The new alternator seems to be working as the headlights don't go dim when the motor is at idle like before. At idle the idiot light doesn't flutter at all, even with all electrical accessories on. The only other thing I noticed was that the idiot light does NOT come on when the switch is on w/ out the engine running.
48' b-1 converted to 12v w/ Delco alternator.
Thanxs in advance for all opinions and info.
