I hopped in my '74 144 to go to class Saturday morning and the AMP idiot light kept glowing . I went around the block and noticed that the gas guage wasn't registering and the tach wasn't functioning, just kind of bouncing a little. I took my truck to school and started pondering the finer points of alternator replacement. After 5 hours of math I came home and started it up. Problem gone! Now I suspect that the alternator is good after all but I don't have proper testing tools. Anyone have any advice on where/how to start troubleshooting?
