The new exhaust manifold gaskets are on and on the same day the GEN light came on. This 1960 is starting to wear.
With only the headlamps on and 2 miles from home, the GEN light came and started getting brighter as engine RPM increased. In a matter of seconds it burned out (I'm sure). Made it home and checked to find the alternator is not charging the battery.
I haven't confirmed if the 80amp fuse blew or the alternator is bad, again for the 3rd time in two years. I just confused how the GEN light kept glowing brighter until it failed.
Time for another tear down.
