Re: amp light woes 120-130 66

Mark,

The other posts are right on, but here's one more thing to check: the grounds. A long shot, but something that's good to check just on general principle. The 'gen' light is sensitive to the voltage between the body and the engine. The generator should be grounded to the block- it's been a while since I took mine off- does it have a separate ground lug? If so, make sure it's clean. If not, make sure everything's bolted up tight...and that the v. reg also has a clean ground. Make sure the ground strap from the battery is securely fastened and the connections are clean. Same goes for the body- to- block strap (you do have one of those, right?)

Good luck!

Toby
